The equation 2v-41=0 can be used to find the number of visits that would make two memberships cost the same amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Per month charges of type 1 = $86
Per visit charge = $3
Let,
v be the number of visits.
T(v) = 3v+86
Per month charges of type 2 = $45
Per visit charge = $5
P(v) = 5v+45
For same amount to be charged;
T(v) = P(v)
The equation 2v-41=0 can be used to find the number of visits that would make two memberships cost the same amount.
Monthly amount, M = $102×4 = $408.
Also, yearly amount, Y = M×12 = $408×12 = $4896
It is given that 25% of the cost is contributed by Marcus.
Amount Marcus paid
Therefore, his employer contribution annually for coverage is $( 4896 - 1224)=$3672.
Hence, this is the required solution.
