Question

Tom is deciding whether or not he should become a member gym to use their basketball courts. The membership cost is $135. Members pay $2 to rent out the basketball courts. Non-members can rent the court also, but they have to pay $11 each time. how many times would Tom need to rent the court in order for it be cheaper to be a member than a non member?

Answer 1

135 + 2x
11x

135 + 30 (or 2 x 15) = 165
11 x 15 = 165

16 times.
