You've decided to spend some time week exploring Liverpool using a Voi scooter. You want to figure out which option — Pay-as-you-go, Day Pass, or Monthly Pass — would be the best value for your trip.

Here’s the info you have:

Pay-as-you-go: Costs £1 to unlock and £0.20 per minute.
Day pass: Costs between £7 and £10 for 100–120 minutes of riding within 24 hours.
Monthly pass: Costs £39 and gives unlimited rides for 30 days.

Challenge:

If you expect to use the scooter for about 30 minutes every day for a week, which option would save you the most money?
What if you were going to use the scooter for about 90 minutes every day?
Can you think of a different situation where one of the options would make more sense? Explain your reasoning with calculations.

Think of other scenarios and ask questions using this info.
