Answer 1

To determine the better buy, we need to calculate the cost per lesson for each package.

For Package A:
Cost = $230
Lessons = 20
Cost per lesson = $230 / 20 = $11.50

For Package B:
Cost = $180
Lessons = 15
Cost per lesson = $180 / 15 = $12.00

Therefore, Package A is the better buy as it costs $11.50 per lesson, while Package B costs $12.00 per lesson. Therefore, Millie should choose Package A.
