Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the cost for members (C1) first. Let x be the number of visits.

C1(x) = 12 + 8x

For non-members (C2), we can do the same.

C2(x) = 10x

You can graph these two equations.

x C1 C2

0 12 0

1 20 10

2 28 20

3 36 30

4 44 40

5 52 50

6 60 60

7 68 70

Let's make the two equations equal, to find out where the benefit is the same.

12 + 8x = 10x

2x = 12

x = 6

Up to 5 visits, the non-member cost is better. At 6 visits, there's the same price. For more than 6 visits, the member cost is better.
