Question

A pair of runners costs $240. suppose you wear them every day for two years.

a) how much does it cost per month to have these runners?

b) compare the value of these runners to another pair that costs $168, but lasts only for one and two months which is better value

Answer 1

Answer: a) $10 per month b) the original runners

Step-by-step explanation: A) since runners cost $240, and you used them for a total of 2 years, which is 24 months. This means they cost 240/24 = $10 per month

b) The other pair costs $168 but you only have them for 2 months so they cost 168/2 = $84 per month which are more expensive.
