what will be more cost effective:to buy one day ticket for a month or to buy the one month ticket if a commuter needs to use metrorail to go to work for a month?[Assume that the person work for four weeks in a month and five days in a week].explain your answer
To determine which option is more cost effective, let's break down the costs for each scenario:
1. Buying a one-day ticket for each workday:
There are 20 workdays in a month (4 weeks x 5 days per week).
Let's say the cost of a one-day Metrorail ticket is $5.
Total cost for the month: $5 x 20 = $100
2. Buying a one-month ticket:
Let's say the cost of a one-month Metrorail ticket is $150.
In this scenario, buying a one-month ticket is more cost effective as it costs $50 less than buying individual one-day tickets for each workday in a month.
Therefore, it would be more cost effective for the commuter to buy a one-month ticket if they need to use Metrorail to go to work for a month. It would also provide the convenience of not having to buy a ticket every day and potentially save time as well.
