Answer 1

A) baseball camp by $1.25 a day

Answer 2

Option A. is the answer.

Explanation:

Smith high school offers a baseball camp that is $75 for 4 days of camp and basketball camp with the charges $100 for 5 days.

It is for the sure that a camp which offers less charges for a day will be the better deal.

Per day cost of baseball camp =
`(75)/(4)=18.75`

Per day cost of basketball camp =
`(100)/(5)=20`

Now we have to find the difference of per day cost of the camps.

per day cost of basketball camp - per day cost of baseball camp

= 20 - 18.75

= $1.25

So baseball camp is a better deal by $1.25 a day.
