Question

Olivia has a points card for a movie theater. She receives 25 rewards points just for signing up. She earns 7.5 points for each visit to the movie theater. She needs 130 points for a free movie ticket. How many visits must Olivia make to earn a free movie ticket?

Answer 1

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

7.5x + 25 = 130

         -25    -25

7.5x = 105  

$\frac{7.5x}{7.5}=\frac{105}{7.5}$

x = 14

Hence, she must make 14 visits in order to earn a free movie ticket.

Answer 2

Answer:

0 visits

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, calculation of the given data are as follows,

Rewards for signing up = 80 points

Reward per visit = 2.5 points

Total points needed = 105

Let, number of visits = x

So, we can calculate number of visits by using following formula,

80 + (2.5 × X) = 105

2.5X = 105 - 80

2.5X = 25

X = 25 ÷ 2.5

X = 10 visits.

Hence, Olivia needs to make 10 visits in order to earn a free movie ticket
