You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You should get a membership when your costs as a non-member are greater than the costs would be for a member.
Non-Member Costs > Member Costs
Let H be the number of hours you rent the court.
10%2AH%3E300%2B4%2AH
10%2AH-4%2AH%3E300
6%2AH%3E300
H%3E50
So, if you use more than 50 hours of court time, you should definitely get a membership.
