Henry wants to take horseback riding lessons. He can purchase two different horseback riding lesson packages.

Question

Package A is 10 lessons for $130.
Package B is 20 lessons for $250.

If Henry wants the better buy, which package should he choose? What is the difference in price per lesson?

Package A is a better price
Package B is a better price
They are equal in price per lesson

Answer 1

To determine the better buy, we need to compare the price per lesson for each package.

For Package A:
Price per lesson = $130 / 10 lessons = $13 per lesson

For Package B:
Price per lesson = $250 / 20 lessons = $12.50 per lesson

Since the price per lesson for Package B is lower, it is the better buy. The difference in price per lesson between the two packages is:

$13 - $12.50 = $0.50 per lesson.
