Question

Ellie has a points card for a movie theater. She receives 50 rewards points just for signing up. She earns 10.5 points for each visit to the movie theater. She needs at least 190 points for a free movie ticket. What is the least number of visits she needs to make in order to earn a free movie ticket?

Answer 1

14 visits

Explanation:

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

Signup rewards = 50 points

Each visit reward = 10.5

Total points needed = 190

Let, number of visits = x

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

50 + (10.5 × X) = 190

10.5X = 190 - 50

10.5X = 140

X = 140 ÷ 10.5

X = 13.33 or 14 visits.

Hence, she needs to make 14 visits in order to earn a free movie ticket.
