This is the assignment we had to create a real world scenario using a cost comparison. Mine is,Lauren needs to find the best option for daycare for her two year old daughter to fit her budget because she works 45hrs. a week. Option 1 is a in home child care which charges a flat rate of $5 per hour for each kid.
