To determine the better buy, we need to compare the cost per lesson for each package.
For Package A, the cost is $230 for 20 lessons. Therefore, the cost per lesson for Package A is:
230 / 20 = $11.50 per lesson
For Package B, the cost is $180 for 15 lessons. Therefore, the cost per lesson for Package B is:
180 / 15 = $12.00 per lesson
Comparing the cost per lesson, Package A has a lower cost per lesson ($11.50) compared to Package B ($12.00).
Therefore, Millie should choose Package A as it offers a better buy, with a lower cost per lesson.
For Package A, the cost is $230 for 20 lessons. Therefore, the cost per lesson for Package A is:
230 / 20 = $11.50 per lesson
For Package B, the cost is $180 for 15 lessons. Therefore, the cost per lesson for Package B is:
180 / 15 = $12.00 per lesson
Comparing the cost per lesson, Package A has a lower cost per lesson ($11.50) compared to Package B ($12.00).
Therefore, Millie should choose Package A as it offers a better buy, with a lower cost per lesson.
