Question

Olivia has a points card for a movie theater. She receives 80 rewards points just for signing up. She earns 2.5 points for each visit to the movie theater. She needs at least 105 points for a free movie ticket. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of visits Olivia can make to earn her first free movie ticket.

Answer 1

10 visits

Explanation:

According to the scenario, calculation of the given data are as follows,

Rewards for signing up = 80 points

Reward per visit = 2.5 points

Total points needed = 105

Let, number of visits = x

So, we can calculate number of visits by using following formula,

80 + (2.5 × X) = 105

2.5X = 105 - 80

2.5X = 25

X = 25 ÷ 2.5

X = 10 visits.

Hence, Olivia needs to make 10 visits in order to earn a free movie ticket.
