To determine the better buy, we need to compare the price per lesson for each package.
For Package A:
Price = $230
Number of lessons = 20
Price per lesson = $230 / 20 = $11.5
For Package B:
Price = $180
Number of lessons = 15
Price per lesson = $180 / 15 = $12
Based on the calculations, Package A has a lower price per lesson ($11.5) compared to Package B ($12). Therefore, Millie should choose Package A as it is the better buy.
