A person can pay $14 for a membership to the history museum and then go to the museum for just $5 per visit. What is the maximum number of visits a member of the history museum can make for a total cost of $44?

Hi there!
First we subtract 44-14 leaving us with 30. 5x6 = 30
Therefore, a member can visit a history museum 6 times to equal a total cost of $44.
In a different situation:
If the person has already paid the $14, and that doesn’t count as a visit, then a person would have to visit a museum 8 times to get a total of $45. Considering this is a real-world problem.
I hope this helps and have a good day :) !
