An ice skating rink has two ways you can use the facility. The first option is to pay $10 per visit. The second option is to pay $32 per month, and $6 per visit. Write and solve an equation to show the number of visits it would take for the cost of the the plans to be equal.
Let x be the number of visits.
For the first option:
Cost = $10x
For the second option:
Cost = $32 + $6x
Setting the two costs equal to each other:
$10x = $32 + $6x
Simplify:
$4x = $32
Divide by $4:
x = 8
Therefore, it would take 8 visits for the cost of the two plans to be equal.
