Question

Samantha has​ $300 for guitar lessons to learn her favorite song. Mrs. Jones charges​ $80 per lesson and requires three lessons to teach Samantha the song. Mr. Beliz charges​ $62 per lesson and requires four lessons to teach Samantha the song. Use integers to represent what each teacher charges. Which is the better deal for​ Samantha?

Answer 1

Mrs. Jones has the better deal

Explanation:

Samantha has $300

Mrs. Jones charges $80 per lesson and she requires three so we do 80* 3 (the lessons) which equals 240

Mrs. Beliz charges $62 per lesson and requires 4 lessons so we do 62*4 (the lessons) which equals 248

240<240 (so Mrs. Jones has the better deal, she wants less money)
