James wants to buy a new cell phone package. There are three packages available, each offering a different deal.
Package 1 $160 for 4 months
Package 2 $128 for 4 months
Package 3 $60 for 2 months
Which package offers the best deal?
A.
Package 1
B.
Both Package 1 and Package 2
C.
Package 3
Answer: B. Package 1 & 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Package 1: 160 / 4 = 40
Package 2: 128 | 4 = 32
Package 3: 60/2 = 30
Answer: C. Package 3
First, find out what each cell phone package costs for 1 month by dividing the cost by however many months:
Package 1: $160 ÷ 4 = $40 for 1 month
Package 2: $128 ÷ 4 = $32 for 1 month
Package 3: $60 ÷ 2 = $30 for 1 month
Since package 3 costs the least amount of money for 1 month out of all of the other packages, that package offers the best deal. So C) Package 3 is your answer
