If you are not a member of the VID club, the movies rent for $2.25 each.How many videos would you have to rent each month to make a membership worth the investment?

Answer 1

costmembers=30+.85N

costnonmembers=2.25N
set the costs equal, and solve for N

Hmm that sounds right , But mr hs said that the equation was y=30 * 2.25x , So i don't know , This is confusing :/

Answer 7

lol...i agree 2...but if y=30*2.25x ....we know what x is but then what is y....877.5 have to do with anything...i did 2.25*13*30=877.5..
