The pool at "Splash Around" is open for 14 weeks during the summer. You can swim for $6 a session, or you can buy membership for

$100 and pay only $4 a session. Which equation would you use to determine how many sessions you must use the pool to justify
buying the membership?

Answer:

Explanation:

if x is the number of times you go swimming

100 + 4x < 6x

Out of an 98 day season

If you attend 50 days, the cost is $300 either with or without the membership

Less than 50 days, it's less expensive to just pay the daily rate.

More than 50 days, it's less expensive to have the membership.
