    Let x = # of rides

    Plan A: 10 + 3x

    Plan B: 20 + x

    if x < 5 rides then plan A is better buy

    if x = 5 both plans are the same

    if x > 5 then plan B is the best buy

    Prove:

    x = 6 (rides)

    plan A: 10 + 3x = 10 + 3 (6) = 10+18 = $28

    plan B: 20 + x = 20 + 6 = $26
