Question

Aisha has a points card for a movie theater. She receives 55 rewards points just for signing up. She earns 11.5 points for each visit to the movie theater. She needs 170 points for a free movie ticket. Which equation or tape diagram could be used to represent the context if xx represents the number of visits Aisha must make to earn a free movie ticket?

Answer 1

Answer: X=10

Explanation:

170 - 55

x is the number of visits that would add on to 55 in order to equal her goal 170

170-55=115

next divide 115 with the number of points for each visit in order to equal the number of visits required to reach 170

115/11.5=10

x=10
