Choose an answer

A.Taking one friend twice is cheaper
B.Both options cost the same

D.It's cheaper to take two friends at the same time. In this case, you would only be buying three tickets, whereas if you take the same friend twice you are buying four tickets.

Answer

It's cheaper to take two friends at the same time. In this case, you would only be buying three tickets, whereas if you take the same friend twice you are buying four tickets.

Why this is the answer

Taking two friends together costs three tickets total (you plus two friends), while taking one friend twice costs four tickets (two trips each), so the group outing is cheaper.
