Enter your answer and show all the steps that you use to solve this problem in the space provided. You are a member of your local movie theater's club. Every time you see a movie at the theater, you earn 4 advantage points. When you earn 100 points, you get a free movie pass. Currently you have 40 advantage points. 1. Write an equation to model the number of movies, m, you have to watch before you earn a free movie pass. 2. Solve the equation. Show your work.
1. The equation to model the number of movies, m, you have to watch before you earn a free movie pass is:
100 = 4m + 40
2. To solve the equation, first subtract 40 from both sides:
100 - 40 = 4m
60 = 4m
Then, divide both sides by 4 to solve for m:
60/4 = m
15 = m
Therefore, you would need to watch 15 movies to earn a free movie pass.
