To determine the best option, let's compare the total cost for both scenarios.
Option 1: Pay per visit
The cost per visit is $28, and your budget is $150. So, you can afford $150 / $28 ≈ 5 visits.
Therefore, the total cost for 5 visits would be 5 x $28 = $140.
Option 2: Monthly membership + pay per visit
The monthly membership costs $90, and the cost per visit is an additional $15.
Considering you have a budget of $150:
- After purchasing the monthly membership, you have $150 - $90 = $60 remaining.
- With $60, you can afford $60 / $15 = 4 visits.
- Including the monthly membership, the total cost for 4 visits would be $90 + (4 x $15) = $150.
Comparing the options, it's evident that Option 2 is the best choice. With Option 2, you'll get the monthly membership and still be able to visit the amusement park four times within your budget of $150.
