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. (4 points)
1. m = (100 - 40) / 4
2. m = 60 / 4
m = 15
You have to watch 15 more movies to earn a free movie pass.
I think the answer is actually 60
Apologies for the confusion. Let's re-calculate:
1. m = (100 - 40) / 4
= 60 / 4
= 15
You have to watch 15 more movies to earn a free movie pass.
Thank you! Can you put this in a wored form though?
Certainly! In order to earn a free movie pass from your local movie theater's club, you need to watch 15 more movies to accumulate a total of 100 advantage points.
I meant a step-by-step worded form, sorry for the confusion.
Of course! Here is a step-by-step explanation in worded form:
Step 1: Calculate how many points you need to earn a free movie pass by subtracting the current points you have (40) from the total required points (100).
Step 2: Divide the result from Step 1 by the number of advantage points earned per movie watched (4) to determine how many movies you need to watch to earn the remaining points.
Step 3: The calculated result from Step 2 shows that you need to watch 15 more movies to accumulate a total of 100 advantage points and earn a free movie pass.
