To find out which package is the better buy, we need to compare the prices per lesson. We can do this by dividing the total cost of each package by the number of lessons it offers.
For Package A, we divide $230 by 20 lessons:
$230 / 20 = $11.50 per lesson
For Package B, we divide $180 by 15 lessons:
$180 / 15 = $12 per lesson
Now we can see that Package A costs $11.50 per lesson, while Package B costs $12 per lesson.
Since $11.50 is less than $12, Millie should choose Package A. It is the better buy because it is cheaper per lesson.
