You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Our local city pool charges $10/day for a visit.
A yearly pass for an individual is $80/year.
If you plan on making more than 8 visits a year, the yearly pass is the better deal.
If you plan on making fewer than 8 visits, the daily pass is the better deal.
10%2AD=80
D=8
8 days is the breakeven point, where both costs are identical.
