Let the amount of visits for members' and non-members' costs to be equal, be V

Then a member pays a total of 45 + 5V for one-time membership fee and each visit

A non-member pays 8V for each visit

Costs will be same when 45 + 5V = 8V

45 = 8V - 5V

45 = 3V

V, or amount of visits for members' and non-members' cost to be the same = , or

You can do the check!!
