Question

Helpppp pls

Members at the Star Theater pay $30.00 per month plus $1.95 for each movie. Nonmembers pay the regular $7.95 admission fee. How many movies would both a member and a nonmember have to see in a month to pay the same amount?

Answer 1

Each of them would have to see 5 movies to pay the same amount.

Explanation;

Members have to pay $30 a month just to have a lower admission fee. So members already start with a high price. If you add 7.95 together 5 times you get 39.75. This is the same as the members when you add the $30 admission fee to the 5 movies. (30+1.95....). That is how you find that both members and nonmembers will be paying the same amount after both watching 5 movies.
