Question 812002: The city zoo offers a yearly membership that costs $120. A yearly membrrship includes free parking. Members can also purchase a ride pass for an additional $2 per day that allows them unlimited access to the rides in the park. Non members pay $13 for admission to the park $5 for parking and $5 for a ride pass. 120 + 2d = 22d

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What number of visits?

y=mx+b
y=2d+120
y=(13+5+5)*d
2d+120=(13+5+5)*d
2d+120=23d
not 22d
d = 5.7143
they are even after 5.7 visits or after 6 it costs more for nonmemmbers
