The McCarter’s must make over 120 visits for the season pass to be the better deal. B. The McCarter’s must make between 0 visits and 120 visits for the season pass to be the better deal. C. Either option is equivalent. D. The McCarter’s must make over 10 visits for the season pass to be the better deal.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The McCarter's must make more than 10 visits to the pool for the pass to be a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I chose the option that seemed most likely. Once I chose D, I plugged in the answer to see if it actually worked.

10 x 7.5 =75 dollars + 50 (pass fee) = 125 dollars total.

10 x 12.5= 125 dollars.

Therefore, in order to get a deal off of the seasonal pass, the McCarter's would have to visit the pool more than 10 times. D.
