An ice skating rink has two ways you can use the facility the first option is to pay $10 per visit the second option is to pay $32 per month and $6 per visit right and solve an equation to show the number of visits it would take for the cost of the two plans to be equal

1 answer

Let x represent the number of visits.

For the first option, the cost is $10 per visit.

For the second option, the cost is $32 per month plus $6 per visit. So, the total cost for x visits in one month is $32 + $6x.

To find the number of visits at which the cost of the two plans is equal, we set up the equation:

10x = 32 + 6x

Subtract 6x from both sides:

4x = 32

Divide by 4:

x = 8

Therefore, it would take 8 visits for the cost of the two plans to be equal.
