Question

Millie wants to take swimming lessons. She can purchase two different swim lesson packages. Package A is 20 lesson for $230. Package B is 15 lessons for $180. If Millie wants the better buy, which package should she choose? (Please explain briefly why. Please try to be correct.)

Answer 1

180 divided by 15 is 12 so that’s $12 for each swimming class for package A
230 divided by 20 is 11.5 so that’s for each swimming class for package B
12 x 5 = 60 the cost for 5 more classes in package B
180+60=240 for 20 lessons in package B
While it’s $230 for 20 lessons in package A

Therefore since it’s $240 for 20 lessons in package B while it’s $230 in 20 lessons for package A. Package A will be the better option to buy because it is $10 less then package B
