Answer 1

Answer:

8 number of visits will be the total cost of the visits (including the price of the discount card) be less expensive for a family of 2 adults and 1 child if they have purchased the discount card

Step-by-step explanation:

                             Price without Discount Card   Price with Discount Card

Ticket (12 & Under)        $10                                             $8

Adult's Ticket                  $15                                           $12

Let x be the number of visits

Price without discount card for 2 adults and 1 child ticket

Price without discount for x visits = $x(15 \times 2+ 10)=40x$

Price with discount for x visits =$57+ x(12 \times 2+ 8)=57+32x$

Now to find For what number of visits will the total cost of the visits (including the price of the discount card) be less expensive for a family of 2 adults and 1 child if they have purchased the discount card

57+32x< 40x

57<8x

7.1<x

So, 8 number of visits will be the total cost of the visits (including the price of the discount card) be less expensive for a family of 2 adults and 1 child if they have purchased the discount card
