Joel is looking at cost for using a gym. He could pay $50 per month for unlimited use or he could pay $12 per month plus $4 visit. How many visits would he have to make each month to make each month to make the $50 per month unlimited use option the cheapest one?

He would have to make 10 visits at the ($12 per month + $4 each visit) gym to make the ($50 per month for unlimited visits) gym the cheapest option.

Step-by-step explanation:

12 + (4 x 10) =
