Question

Please i needa pass this exam

Margaret is renting bowling shoes for $1.50 every time she goes bowling. She could get a good pair of bowling shoes for $48. If she goes once every two weeks during the year, would it be less expensive to rent or buy?
1) Rent
2) Buy

Answer 1

There are 52 weeks in the year, if she goes every two weeks 52/2 = 26
every time she goes she pays 1.50 for the shoes 1.50(26)= $39
If the shoes cost $48 to buy they are 48-39 = $9 more to buy than to rent.

So it would be less expensive to rent than to buy.

I hope this helps :) and good luck on your exam!
