Answer:
20 visits.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fitness Universe has a 1 time payment of $50, and each visit will cost $5.50
Non-members pay $8 per visit. Let each visit be signified by the variable, v. Set the equation:
5.50v + 50 = 8v
Isolate the variable, v. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 5.50v from both sides:
5.50v (-5.50v) + 50 = 8v (-5.50v)
50 = 8v - 5.50v
50 = 2.50v
Isolate the variable, v. Divide 2.50 from both sides:
(50)/2.50 = (2.50v)/2.50
v = 50/2.50
v = 20
Stuart must visit 20 times to break even, in which it will become cheaper after the 20th visit.
