Cinema A sells a 12-pack of movie passes for $66. Cinema B sells a 5-pack of movie passes for $28.
a.)Find the cost per movie pass for each cinema. Which offer is cheaper per movie pass?
b. How much do you save per movie pass if you choose the cheaper offer?
A: 66/12 = ?
B: 28/5 = ?
28/5 - 66/12 = ?
To find the cost per movie pass for each cinema, we need to divide the total cost of the movie pass pack by the number of movie passes in the pack.
a.)
For Cinema A, the cost of the 12-pack of movie passes is $66. So, to find the cost per movie pass, we divide $66 by 12.
Cost per movie pass for Cinema A = $66 / 12 = $5.50
For Cinema B, the cost of the 5-pack of movie passes is $28. So, to find the cost per movie pass, we divide $28 by 5.
Cost per movie pass for Cinema B = $28 / 5 = $5.60
Therefore, the cost per movie pass for Cinema A is $5.50, and for Cinema B is $5.60.
To determine which offer is cheaper per movie pass, we compare the costs per movie pass. In this case, Cinema A has a lower cost per movie pass than Cinema B ($5.50 vs $5.60). Therefore, Cinema A offers a cheaper price per movie pass compared to Cinema B.
b.)
To calculate how much you save per movie pass if you choose the cheaper offer, we subtract the cost per movie pass of the cheaper offer from the cost per movie pass of the more expensive offer.
Savings per movie pass = Cost per movie pass of the more expensive offer - Cost per movie pass of the cheaper offer.
In this case, since Cinema A is the cheaper offer, we subtract the cost per movie pass of Cinema A from the cost per movie pass of Cinema B.
Savings per movie pass = Cost per movie pass of Cinema B - Cost per movie pass of Cinema A
Savings per movie pass = $5.60 - $5.50 = $0.10
Therefore, if you choose the cheaper offer (Cinema A), you save $0.10 per movie pass compared to Cinema B.
