A subscription to Time magazine is $24.97 for one year, $45.94 for two years or $74.91 for three years. Which plan is least expensive if you want the subscription per year? Solve this problem using unit price.
A: $45.94 for two years
B: the plans are the same price for two years
C: $24.97 for one year
D: $74.91 for three years
To determine which plan is least expensive per year, we will divide the total cost by the number of years.
For option A, the cost for two years is $45.94. Therefore, the cost per year is $45.94/2 = $22.97.
For option B, we are given that the plans are the same price for two years. Therefore, the cost per year is $45.94/2 = $22.97.
For option C, the cost for one year is $24.97. Therefore, the cost per year is $24.97/1 = $24.97.
For option D, the cost for three years is $74.91. Therefore, the cost per year is $74.91/3 = $24.97.
Therefore, we can see that options A and B have the lowest cost per year of $22.97.
To determine which plan is the least expensive per year, we need to calculate the unit price of each plan.
For Option A: $45.94 for two years
The unit price would be $45.94 divided by 2 years, which gives us $22.97 per year.
For Option B: the plans are the same price for two years
Since the plans are the same price for two years, the unit price would also be the same as Option A: $22.97 per year.
For Option C: $24.97 for one year
The unit price would simply be $24.97 per year since it's already stated as the cost for one year.
For Option D: $74.91 for three years
The unit price would be $74.91 divided by 3 years, which gives us $24.97 per year.
Comparing the unit prices:
Option A: $22.97 per year
Option B: $22.97 per year
Option C: $24.97 per year
Option D: $24.97 per year
From the calculations, we can see that options A and B have the lowest unit price of $22.97 per year. Therefore, the plan that is least expensive per year is Option A: $45.94 for two years.
To find the least expensive plan per year, we need to calculate the unit price for each option. The unit price is found by dividing the total price by the number of years.
Option A: $45.94 for two years
Unit price = $45.94 / 2 years
Unit price = $22.97 per year
Option B: The plans are the same price for two years
We can't determine the unit price because the total price for two years is not provided.
Option C: $24.97 for one year
Unit price = $24.97 / 1 year
Unit price = $24.97 per year
Option D: $74.91 for three years
Unit price = $74.91 / 3 years
Unit price = $24.97 per year
From the calculations, we can see that option C and option D have the same unit price of $24.97 per year. Therefore, both option C and option D are the least expensive plans per year.
