Question

Landon has a points card for a movie theater. He receives 70 rewards points just for signing up. He earns 5.5 points for each visit to the movie theater. He needs 125 points for a free movie ticket. How many visits must Landon make to earn a free movie ticket?

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

Let x= number of visits

5.5x+70=

125

subtract -70 from 70 and 125

5.5x= 55

divide both sides by 5.5

x=10

Answer 2

10 times

Explanation:

125-70 bonus points =55 points left.

55 divided by 5.5 per visit = 10 times to get a free movie ticket.

To verify it is correct:

10 visits x 5.5 points each = 55 points total

55 + 70 bonus points = 125 for a free ticket.
