Answer:
6 times
Explanation:
Let the number of times you visit the pool = x
At a local swim club you can purchase an annual membership for 24 dollars which will allow you 1 dollar admission to the pool all summer.
= $24 + $1× x
= 24 + x
If you do not purchase the membership the pool admission is 5 dollars.
= 5 × x
= 5x
Hence:
24 + x = 5x
Collect like terms
24 = 5x - x
4x = 24
x = 24/4
x = 6 times
The number of times you must visit the pool with a membership that would equal the cost of paying full price is 6 times.
