Aria Ellison · Answer 1

We can use an inequality.

x = number of times one has to go.

1.75x > 15.00

1.75x / 1.75 > 15.00/1.75

x = 15.00 / 1.75

x > 8.57

So when x > 9 time the membership is a better deal.

Corey Hebert · Answer 2

On the 9th time it will be a better deal to have a membership. 9 times 1.75 is 15.75 which is more than 15
