Joel would have to go at least 10 times per month to make the 50 dollars per month the cheapest one.

Answer:

First choice is cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joel could pay $50 per month for unlimited use or he could pay $12 per month plus $4 per visit.

Let the monthly visits be x

We can define this as :

[tex]12+4x> 50[/tex]

[tex]4x >50-12[/tex]

[tex]4x >38[/tex]

[tex]x> 9.5[/tex]

So, x can be greater than 9.5 means 10.

[tex]4(10)+12>50[/tex]

[tex]52 > 50[/tex]

Comparing both we can say that the first choice is cheaper.
