How many times per year would the golfer need to play golf for the two options to cost the​ same?

Respuesta :

Answer: the golfer would need to play golf 10 times per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of times per year that the golfer need to play golf for the two options to cost the​ same.

A social membership costs​ $1775 in annual dues. In​ addition, he would pay a ​$65 greens fee and a ​$25 golf cart fee every time he played. This means that the total cost of playing golf for x times with the social membership option is

1775 + (65 + 25)x

A golf membership costs​ $2425 in annual dues. With this​ membership, the golfer would only pay a ​$25 golf cart fee when he played. This means that the total cost of playing golf for x times with the golf membership option is

2425 + 25x

For the costs to be the same,

1775 + 65x + 25x = 2425 + 25x

65x + 25x - 25x = 2425 - 1775

65x = 650

x = 10
