Two types of memberships are available for a water park:

• an unlimited use membership for $70 per month, or

• a monthly $10 fee plus $5.00 per visit.

Enter an equation that can be used to find the number of visits (v) per month needed for the two membership types

to cost the same amount.

12 visits are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of a monthly $10 fee plus $5.00 per visit can be expressed in an equation as follows:

Cost = 10 + 5*v

where v is the number of visits per month.

If the two membership types cost the same amount, then:

10 + 5*v = 70

5*v = 70 - 10

v = 60/5

v = 12

First: 70v = 10v + 5

Second: 60v = 5

Third: v = 1/12
