Answer 1

When number of games downloaded is at least 3

Explanation:

Let x = number of games downloaded

Members = 50 + 2x

Non members = 20x

50 + 2x = 20x

50 = 20x - 2x

50 = 18x

x = 50/18

x = 2.78

At x = 2.78, both members and non members are paying the same amount

For members to make profits, the value of x must be greater than 2.78

Approximately x = 3

Check:

Members = 50 + 2x

= 50 + 2(3)

= 50 + 6

= 56

Non members = 20x

= 20(3)

= 60
