Marshall is comparing introductory rates for two different video streaming services. He can pay $22.50 for the first 3 months with Watch It Now, or he can pay $43.50 for the first 6 months with Megaflicks. Which service's introductory rate is a better deal?

1 answer

To determine which service's introductory rate is a better deal, we can calculate the monthly cost for each service during their introductory periods.

Watch It Now:

  • Cost for the first 3 months: $22.50
  • Monthly cost = Total cost / Number of months = $22.50 / 3 = $7.50 per month

Megaflicks:

  • Cost for the first 6 months: $43.50
  • Monthly cost = Total cost / Number of months = $43.50 / 6 = $7.25 per month

Now we can compare the monthly costs:

  • Watch It Now costs $7.50 per month
  • Megaflicks costs $7.25 per month

Since $7.25 is less than $7.50, Megaflicks offers the better introductory rate.
