Question 1142630: A local gym charges nonmembers $10 per hour to use the tennis courts. Members pay a yearly fee of $300 and $4 per hour for using the tennis courts. Write an equation to find how many hours, h, you must use the tennis courts to justify becoming a member. Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a given year, there are two cost options. For nonmembers and members, respectively, the costs are:
The breakeven point is where these are equal:
10h = 4h+300
6h = 300
h = 50 hours
If a person is going to play more than 50 hours of tennis in a year, it is less expensive if they become a member. (See green line in graph below)
