A transponder for a toll bridge costs $17.50. With the transponder, the toll is $5 each time you cross the bridge. The only other option is toll-by-plate, for which the toll is $7.25 each time you cross the bridge with an additional administrative fee of $1.25 for each crossing. How many times would you need to cross the bridge for the costs of the two toll options to be the same?​
