Question

At a local movie theatre, members pay a $45 membership fee and pay $2 per movie. Nonmembers pay $3.50 per movie. For what number of movies will the cost for members and nonmembers be the same?

Answer 1

30 movies

Explanation:

Let Number of movies = x

Member :

Membership fee + 2x

45 + 2x - - - (1)

Non members :

3.50x - - - (2)

Equate (1) and (2)

45 + 2x = 3.50x

45 = 3.50x - 2x

45 = 1.50x

x = 45 / 1.50

x = 30

30 movies
