27 times

Step-by-step explanation

You start of with $40. For membership, you pay $13.

Therefore, you are left with, 40-13=27

For each trip after membership, you pay $1.

So, 27/1=27

Andy Cooke · Answer 2

27 visits

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use the equation x + 13 = 40, x = number of visits

2. Subtract 13 from both sides.

3. x = 27, the maximum number of visits is 27.
