Question

Martha is taking the bus into work 3 times a week (12 times a month) for $4.50 a day. Would it be better to continue to pay daily, or buy the monthly pass for $59?

Answer 1

if she pays daily she'll save $5 because $4.50x12=54

Answer 2

Yes , it would be better to continue to pay daily .

Reason

As given

Martha is taking the bus into work 3 times a week (12 times a month) for $4.50 a day.

Buy the monthly pass for $59 .

Than

Cost that Martha pays 12 times a month = 12 × 4.50

= $ 54

As the cost that Martha pays 12 times a month is less than the cost of monthly pass .

Therefore it would be better to continue to pay daily .
