Question

Lisa charges $28 for 2 hours of swimming lessons, Tara charges $75 for 5 hours of swimming lessons. Who offers a better deal?

Answer 1

Lisa

Explanation:

Find the amount of money Lisa and Tara charge every hour.

Lisa's ratio is 28 : 2 hours

Divide both sides of the ratio by 2

Lisa charges 14 dollars per hour

Tara's ratio is 75:5 hours

Divide both sides of the ratio by 5

Tara charges 15 dollars per hour

Lisa charges 1 dollar less each hour, so Lisa offers a better deal.

Hope this helps :)

Have an awesome day!
