Question

Samantha has $300 for guitar lessons to learn her favorite song mr. Jones charges $800 per lesson and requires three lessons to teach Samantha and the song. Mr police charges $62 per lesson and and will require four lessons to teach Samantha the song. Use integers to represent which teacher

each charges. Which is better deal for Samantha ​

Answer 1

Mr.Jones charges $800 per lesson and requires 3 lessons

That means mr Jones will charge Samantha 800x3 = $2400 in total.

Mr. Police charges $62 per lesson and requires 4 lessons,

62x4 = $248 in total.

Since mr. Police charges less than mr.Jones, it would be a better deal for Samantha.

IN CASE YOU WROTE THE QUESTION WRONG AND MR JONES CHARGES $80 PER LESSON

In that case it would be 80x3 = $240 in total

mr jones would charge less now and it would be better deal for Samantha.
