On what day will both options equal each other in value. Create a system of equations and use the equal value theorem to solve

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

x = number of days
y = total cost

Option 1: Paying $3 per day
y = 3x

Option 2: Buy a season pass
y = 84
The variable x plays no role here since the cost is fixed or flat.

Equate the right hand sides and solve.
3x = 84
x = 84/3
x = 28

Answer: On day 28 is when the two payment options cost the same ($84)
