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 the pass?

Answer 1

Hey!

This can be solved using a linear equation.

Original Equation: x+40 = 3.50x

Subtract "X" from both Sides: 40 = 2.5X

Divide both sides by 2.5 X = 16.

Therefore, Seth must attend 16 matinees in order to break even. Additionally, Seth will see a benefit from attending his 17th show.
