Answer:
Option A for part (a) and Option B for part (b)
Explanation:
Step 1: Determine the ratios in part a
First Batch --> 8 minutes / 2 customers = 4 minutes per customer
Second Batch --> 18 minutes / 6 customers = 3 minutes per customer
Third Batch --> 21 minutes / 7 customers = 3 minutes per customer
In part (a) we would choose option a which is that it does not always take the same amount of time to serve each customer.
Step 2: Determine the ratios in part b
First Batch --> 27 points / 3 dollars = 9 points per dollar
Second Batch --> 45 points / 5 dollars = 9 points per dollar
Third Batch --> 63 points / 7 dollars = 9 points per dollar
In part(b) would choose option b which is that each dollar spent appears to earn the same number of points which would give us 8 dollars for 72 points.
Answer: Option A for part (a) and Option B for part (b)
