24. Armin is trying to decide whether to buy a season pass to his college basketball team’s 20 home games this season. The cost of an individual ticket is $14, and the cost of a season pass is $175. The season pass will admit Armin to any home basketball game at no additional cost. What is the minimum number of home basketball games Armin must attend this season in order for the cost of a season pass to be less than the total cost of buying an individual ticket for each game he attends?

Answer:

13 Home games

Step-by-step explanation:

A season pass cost for home games =$175

Individual ticket per game =$14

For season pass to be less than total home game tickets

i.e $175 must be than ($14 X Homegames )

i.e 175 = 14XHG

HG= 175/14=12.5 Approx. 13 games

Total cost of 13 games is ($13X14)=$182. {$175 is less that $182}

Ardim must attend 13 games.
