Question

question 1 A new streaming company charges a rate of $5.99 per month. in order to generate some additional revenue upfront the company is offering a VIP rate of only $3.49 Per month to any subscriber who purchases a VIP pass for one time fee of $21 set up in solving any qualities to determine how many months it would take for subscriber to save money by purchasing the VIP pass

Answer 1

Answer:

21 + 3.49x < 5.99x

x > 8.4

Explanations:

The normal monthly rate = $5.99

The VIP monthly rate = $3.49

The one time VIP fee = $21

Let the number of months be x

At normal rate, the total charge for x months = 5.99x

For the VIP:

The total charge for x months = 21 + 3.49x

For a subscriber to save money by purchasing the VIP pass, it means the total charge for the VIP must be less than the total charge for the normal subscribers5.99x

Therefore, the inequality to determine how many months it will take for a subscriber to save money by purchasing the VIP pass is:

21 + 3.49x < 5.99x

Solve the inequality above:

21 < 5.99x - 3.49x

21 < 2.5x

2.5x > 21

x > 21/2.5

x > 8.4

Therefore, for a subscriber to save money by purchasing the VIP pass, it would take more than 8.4 months
