Question

Rob loves to snowboard in the winter, so he is looking at the cost of ski lift tickets for different mountains. Peak Point is selling 5-day packs for $275.60. Grand Mountain is selling 3-day packs for $174.75. Which mountain offers the better deal?

Answer 1

Answer: Peak Point offers the better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which has the best price, we need to know the cost for one day at each mountain. To do this, we would divide the cost of each pack by the number of days it pays for, so

$275.60/5 days

and $174.75/3 days.

Peak Point costs $55.12 per day while Grand mountain costs $58.25 for each day. This shows that Peak Point clearly has the better deal, costing $3.13 less for every day included in the pack.
