Question

You get tired of the sand and head up to the amusement park. You can purchase 20 ride tickets for $14 or you can purchase 30 ride tickets for $22.50. Which is a better deal?

Answer 1

The one with the better deal would be 30 ride tickets for $22.50 this is because you pay less money for more rides.

Explanation:

First you divide 20 by 14. Doing this will give you the cost of a ride per ticket.

20/14 = 1.42

Then you do the same thing to 30 and 22.50.

30/22.50 = 1.30

Last you compare which deal has less money per ride.

1.42 > 1.30
