Buy monthly pass: Cost is for rides.

Don't buy pass: Cost is for rides.

Solve to find the number of rides where the cost will be equal.

The total cost for a month where you used the bus for a break-even number of rides would be either $2.50 times the break-even number of rides or $1.75 times the break-even number of rides plus $15.00.
