To determine which option is best, we need to calculate the total cost for each option and then compare them.
Option 1: Paying per visit
Cost per visit: $28
Number of visits: 8
Total cost: $28 * 8 = $<<28*8=224>>
Option 2: Purchasing a monthly membership
Membership cost: $90
Cost per visit: $15
Number of visits: 8
Total cost: $90 + $15 * 8 = $90 + $<<15*8=120>>120 = $<<90+120=210>>
Comparing the total costs:
Option 1: $224
Option 2: $210
Based on the comparison, it is more cost-effective to choose Option 2, which involves purchasing a monthly membership and paying $15 for each visit. The total cost for Option 2 is $210, while for Option 1, it is $224.
