Question
Millie wants to take swimming lessons. She can purchase two different swim lesson packages. Package A is 20 lessons for $230. Package B is 15 lessons for $180. If Millie wants the better buy, which package should she choose? Show your work and explain why your choice is the better buy.(4 points)
To determine the better buy, we need to calculate the cost per lesson for each package.
For Package A:
Cost = $230
Lessons = 20
Cost per lesson = $230 / 20 = $11.50
For Package B:
Cost = $180
Lessons = 15
Cost per lesson = $180 / 15 = $12.00
Therefore, Package A is the better buy as it costs $11.50 per lesson, while Package B costs $12.00 per lesson. Therefore, Millie should choose Package A.
