Franco is at the state fair with some friends. He is deciding between buying a jumbo pack of 50 ride tickets for $45 or a medium pack of 30 ride tickets for $28.50. Which pack is the better deal?

Answer:

The jumbo pack is a better deal

Step-by-step explanation:

The better deal of two is the one that offers a lower cost per ride. Considering the two deals, the cost per unit ride for;

a jumbo pack of 50 ride tickets for $45 = $45/50

= $0.90 per ride

a medium pack of 30 ride tickets for $28.50

= $28.50/30

= $0.95

From the computations above, the medium pack (at $0.95) is more costly than the jumbo pack (at $0.90). Hence the jumbo pack is a better deal for Franco.
