Answer:

8 visits.

Explanation:

To earn a free movie ticket, Fatoumata needs to earn at least 165 points. She has already received 70 points for signing up, so she needs to earn an additional 165 - 70 = 95 points. Since she earns 12.5 points per visit to the movie theater, she needs to make at least 95 / 12.5 = <<95/12.5=7.6>>7.6 visits to the movie theater. Since she can't visit the movie theater a fraction of a time.
