Betty and Veronica went shopping for prom dresses. They each found the perfect dress, but they discovered it was the same dress. The dress cost $100.00 but neither girl has enough money, so they each devise a plan to save for the dress. Veronica put $25.00 aside that night and has been putting aside an additional $8.00 a day since then. Betty put aside $10.00 the next day, and every day since then. Who will be able to buy the dress first?



There are two bowling sites near by. At //Bowlerama//, each person would pay a rate of $3.50 per game plus a one-time fee of $3.00 for the shoe rental. At //Planet Bowl//, each person would pay a rate of $4.50 per game, but there is no shoe rental fee. Which is the better deal?
