Hope wants to take horseback riding lessons. She can purchase two different horseback riding lesson packages. Package A is 20 lessons for $230. Package B is 15 lessons for $180. If Hope wants the better buy, which package should she choose? What is the difference in price per lesson?

Answer 1

To find the price per lesson for each package, we divide the total cost of each package by the number of lessons included in the package.

For Package A:
Price per lesson = $230 / 20 lessons = $11.50 per lesson

For Package B:
Price per lesson = $180 / 15 lessons = $12 per lesson

Hope should choose Package A as it provides a better buy with a lower price per lesson.

The difference in price per lesson between the two packages is $12 per lesson - $11.50 per lesson = $0.50 per lesson.
