Question 911904: A family is trying to decide whether or not to buy a season beach pass. A daily pass costs $12. A season beach pass costs $96. With either pass, the family will have to pay a $2 parking fee each trip to the beach.
How many days would the family have to go the beach in order to make the season pass less expensive than the daily pass?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
96/12=8 days are even so 9 days makes the season pass worthwhile
c(d)=12d
96=12d
d=96/12
d=8
at 8 days the costs are equal
96=8*12
