40 shows

Step-by-step explanation:

Seth's father has spent $140.

At the regular price, the number (n) of shows Seth could attend is

n = 140/3.50

n = 40

If Seth attends 40 shows at that price, he will have spent $140.

Every show after that will cost only $1 instead of $3.50.

Seth must attend 40 shows for it to benefit his father.
