An amusement park offers a yearly membership of $275 that allows for free parking and admission to the park. Members can also use the water park for an additional $5 per day. Nonmembers pay $6 for parking, $15 for admission, and $9 for the waterpark.

Write and solve an equation to find the number of visits it would take for the total cost to be the same for a member and a non-member if they both use the waterpark at each visit.

$275.00+$5.00=$280.00

$6.00+$15.00+$9.00=$30.00

So, 280÷30=9.3<- the 3 being a repeating decimal can be rounded to the hundredths which would be 9.33 but rounded to the nearest whole number would be 9
