Question

2. Seth’s father is thinking of buying his son a six-month movie pass for $40. With the pass, matinees cost $1.00. If matinees are normally $3.50 each, how many times must Seth attend in order for it to benefit his father to buy the pass?
use y+mx+b

Answer 1

1st equation= 40+1x
2nd equation= 3.50x

x=matinees
40+1x=3.50x
40=2.50x
16=x
It would take 16 times to break even. 17 times would benefit his father.
