Question

A video store charges nonmembers $5.00 to rent each video. A store membership cost $22 and members pay only $4.00 to rent each video. For what number of videos is the cost the same?

Answer 1

A member needs to rent 22 videos to breaks even.

Explanation:

We will make `X` the number of videos.

Then we need to calculate and solve for `X` given:

`5 * X = 22 + (4 * X)`

`(5 * X) - (4 * X) = 22`

`X = 22.00`

Therefore a member needs to rent 22 videos to breaks even.
