Question

A movie club offers two plans. Plan A charges $40 to sign up for the plan and $8 for each movie ticket. Plan B charges $67 to sign up for the plan and $5 for each movie ticket. How many movie tickets would someone need to buy for the plans to have the same total cost?

Answer 1

Answer: let the no be x

40+8x=67+5x

8x-5x=67-40

3x=27

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

X=Tickets bought

A=$40+$8x

B=$67+$5x

After 1 ticket bought it would be:

A=$48

B=$72

After 9 tickets bought:

A=$112

B=$112

From this you can see that Plan B is better for ones who would see 9+ movies as the recurring price would be lower. If you would only go to watch a couple movies, Plan A would be better.
