To determine the better buy, we need to calculate the cost per lesson for each package.
For Package A:
Price = $230
Number of lessons = 20
Cost per lesson = Price/Number of lessons = $230/20 = $11.50
For Package B:
Price = $180
Number of lessons = 15
Cost per lesson = Price/Number of lessons = $180/15 = $12.00
Therefore, Package A has a lower cost per lesson ($11.50) compared to Package B ($12.00). Millie should choose Package A as the better buy because it offers lessons at a lower cost per lesson.
