Hi Zeliha, let's help Emma and Nancy find the perfect tennis course by matching their requirements to the options.
Tennis Course Selection
First, let's look at Emma's schedule and budget. She can only attend on weekdays because of her brother and has three hundred dollars.
Emma
- Availability: Weekdays (Mon-Fri)
- Budget: Max $300
Now for Nancy. She is available every day except Tuesdays and can spend at most two hundred and fifty dollars.
Nancy
- Availability: Not on Tuesday
- Budget: Max $250
Since they want to go together, let's find the common ground for their availability and budget.
Mutual Requirements
| Criteria | Emma | Nancy | Mutual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Days | Weekdays | No Tuesday | Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri |
| Max Budget | $300 | $250 | Max $250 |
Now we can evaluate each option. Course one is on Saturday and Sunday. Since Emma can only do weekdays, this is out.
~~Course 1: Weekend - $250~~
