The table shows ticket prices for the local minor league baseball team for fan club members & non-members. For how many tickets is the cost the same for club member & non-members?

Membership fee

Member $30

Non member $0

Ticket price member $3

Ticket price non member $6

Verified Answer :

I would divide 30 by the difference between ticket prices.
6-3=3
so, 30รท3=10
10 tickets

Answer:

For 10 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let for x tickets the cost the same for club member & non-members,

For club member,

Membership fee = $ 30,

Ticket price per person = $ 3,'

Thus, the total cost for x tickets = 30 + 3x,

For non-members,

Membership fee = $ 0,

Ticket price per person = $ 6,

Thus, the total cost for x tickets = 0 + 6x,

\(\implies 30 + 3x = 0 + 6x\)

\(30 = 6x - 3x\)

\(30=3x\)

\(\implies x = \frac{30}{3} = 10\)

Hence, for 10 tickets the cost the same for club member & non-members.
