Please teacher, which way is correct?
I've been reading the 2 options over and over again and I.'m so confused. Which is correct? Are both possible? If so what do they mean?
1 He paid her 100 dollars to kiss her.
The 100 dollars was worth the kiss. (what do these both mean?)
The kiss was worth the 100 dollars.
2 The subway ticket controller people don't wait around to give out fines on a sunday.
The wait isn't worth the fines they give out. (What do these both mean?)
The fines they give out isn't worth the wait.
3 I saved 15 dollars because I waited for the train as opposed to taking a cab.
The wait was worth the 15 dollars I saved. (What do these both mean?)
The 15 dollars I saved was worth the wait.
4 It was worth the wait. (What's the difference, and what do they mean? Is one wrong?)
4 The wait was worth it.
Which is correct?

In each case, figure out which one is the benefit and which one is the price paid for it.
The order is "The benefit is worth the price."
Saving $15 is the benefit. The wait is the price. Saving $15 was worth th wait.
You can do the rest.
