Answer 1

To determine which swimming lesson package is the better buy for Millie, we need to calculate the cost per lesson for both packages.

Package A:

• 20 lessons for $230
• Cost per lesson = Total Cost / Number of Lessons
• Cost per lesson for Package A = $230 / 20 = $11.50 per lesson

Package B:

• 15 lessons for $180
• Cost per lesson for Package B = $180 / 15 = $12 per lesson

Now, let's compare the cost per lesson for both packages:

• Cost per lesson for Package A: $11.50
• Cost per lesson for Package B: $12.00

Conclusion: Package A is the better buy because it costs $11.50 per lesson, which is less than the $12.00 per lesson for Package B. Therefore, Millie should choose Package A.
