Question

Blank is the better buy.

The first graph dot is at 21,63
The second graph dot is at 15,60

Answer 1

To determine which option is the better buy for public transportation passes, we can compare the values represented by the dots on each graph.

1. Option A (21, 63): This means that for 21 rides, the cost is $63.
2. Option B (15, 60): This means that for 15 rides, the cost is $60.

Next, we calculate the cost per ride for both options:

• Option A:
  Cost per ride = Total Cost / Number of Rides = $63 / 21 rides = $3 per ride.

• Option B:
  Cost per ride = Total Cost / Number of Rides = $60 / 15 rides = $4 per ride.

Since Option A has a lower cost per ride ($3) compared to Option B ($4), the better buy is:

1 for Option A.

So, the final answer is:

Blank is the better buy. (Insert "Option A")
