Answer:
12 movies
Explanation:
Let the number of movies they see be represented by x
Jaycie has a VIP membership to a movie theater, so she pays 27 dollars a year and 6.00 for each movie she sees.
$27 + $6 × x
= 27 + 6x
Claire doesn't have a membership, so she pays 8.25 for each movie she sees.
= $8.25 × x
= 8.25x
How many movies would they have to see in a year in order to pay the same amount?
Jaycie = Claire
27 + 6x = 8.25x
27 = 8.25x - 6x
27 = 2.25x
x = 27/2.25
x = 12 movies
Therefore, they have to see 12 movies in a year in order to pay the same amount.
