Seth’s father is thinking of buying his son a six-month movie pass for $40. with the pass, matinees cost $1.00. if matinees are normally $3.50 each, how many times must seth attend in order for it to benefit his father to buy the pass?

In order for it to benefit his father to buy the pass Seth have to attend the movies for 11 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of movie pass = $40

Cost per matinees with pass = $1.00

Cost per matinees without pass = $3.50

To Find:

Number of times must Seth attend in order for it to benefit his father to buy the pass = ?

Solution:

Let x be the number of times he wants to visit

To profit his father

The number of visits without pass =  the number of visits with passin the cost  of $3.50

Then, without pass if he visits for x times then the cost will be  = 3.50x

Also with pass, the number of times he can visit the pass  =  

then

x =  11.42

x = 11 (approx)

i think it is 18
