A ski resort offers a weekend ski package for $80 per person or $6000 for a group of 80 people. Which would be the less expensive option for a group of 80?

60 * $80 = ?

What do you think?

I don't have any idea. I am bad at word problems

What is 60 times $80?

Is it more or less than $6,000?

less

Right. $4,800 is less than $6,000.

Which would be the less expensive option for a group of 80?

80 per person

You're right! :-)

Thank You

You're welcome.

To determine which option is less expensive for a group of 80 people, let's compare the cost of the individual price to the group price.

1. Individual price: $80 per person.
The total cost for a group of 80 people at $80 per person would be:
Total cost = $80 * 80 = $6400.

2. Group price: $6000 for 80 people.
The total cost for the group package is already given as $6000.

Comparing the two options, we see that the group price of $6000 is less expensive than the individual price of $6400 for a group of 80 people. Therefore, the less expensive option for the group is to choose the group package for $6000.
