Hope wants to take horseback riding lessons. She can purchase two different horseback riding lesson packages. Package A is 20 lessons for $230. Package B is 15 lessons for $180. If Hope wants the better buy, which package should she choose? What is the difference in price per lesson?
To find the price per lesson for each package, we divide the total cost of each package by the number of lessons included in the package.
For Package A:
Price per lesson = $230 / 20 lessons = $11.50 per lesson
For Package B:
Price per lesson = $180 / 15 lessons = $12 per lesson
Hope should choose Package A as it provides a better buy with a lower price per lesson.
The difference in price per lesson between the two packages is $12 per lesson - $11.50 per lesson = $0.50 per lesson.
