a movie theater offers two options for memberships. The first shop cost $10 per ticket but in fee of $10 the second option cost five dollars per ticket by an Intel fee of 60 after how many tickets are both opponents at the same price

Let's break down the costs for each membership option to determine at what point they are equal.

  1. First membership option:

    • Cost per ticket = $10
    • Monthly fee = $10
    • Total cost for \( x \) tickets = \( 10 + 10x \)
  2. Second membership option:

    • Cost per ticket = $5
    • Monthly fee = $60
    • Total cost for \( x \) tickets = \( 60 + 5x \)

Now we want to find the number of tickets \( x \) where the total costs for both options are equal:

\[ 10 + 10x = 60 + 5x \]

Now, let's solve for \( x \):

  1. Subtract \( 5x \) from both sides:

\[ 10 + 5x = 60 \]

  1. Subtract 10 from both sides:

\[ 5x = 50 \]

  1. Divide both sides by 5:

\[ x = 10 \]

Thus, both options will cost the same after 10 tickets.
