Question

Seth charges $42 for 2 hours of baseball lessons. Bennie charges $65 for 3 hours of baseball lessons. Who offers the better deal? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Seth offers the better deal, because his charge per hour is lower.

Explanation:

Given that;

Seth charges $42 for 2 hours of baseball lessons.

Seth's Charge rate per hour would be;

$\begin{gathered} r_s=\frac{\text{ \ 42}}{2\text{ hours}} \\ r_s=\text{ \ 21 per hour} \end{gathered}$

Also, Bennie charges $65 for 3 hours of baseball lessons.

$\begin{gathered} r_b=\frac{\text{ \ 65}}{3\text{ hours}} \\ r_b=\text{ \ 21.67 per hour} \end{gathered}$

From the given deals, the deal with the lower Charge rate per hour offers the better deal.

So, Seth offers the better deal, because his charge per hour is lower.
