Jaycie has a VIP membership to a movie theater, so she pays $27 a year and $6.00 for each movie she sees. Claire doesn’t have a membership, so she pays $8.25 each movie she sees. How many movies would they have to see in a year in order to pay the same amount that year? |

Answer» 12 moviesStep-by-step explanation:Assume that the number of movies they each see in the year be XAS Claire doesn't have membership, she PAYS $8.25 for each movieTotal amount paid by Claire = 8.25xAs Jaycie has membership, she pays $6 for each movieSo amount paid by Jaycie for movies = 6xBut, she pays $27 for the membershipSo, total amount paid by Jaicie = 27 + 6xGiven that they both pay the same AMOUNTSO, 8.25x = 27 + 6x⇒ 8.25x - 6x = 27⇒ 2.25x = 27⇒ x = 27/2.25 = 2700/225 = 12∴ They both have to watch 12 moviesHope it helps!!!
