Sagot :

Number of  train rides to make the frequent-rider pass a better deal than standard train tickets is 26 or more rides.

As given,

Cost of standard train ticket = 3 per ride

Price of frequent rider pass= 18.75 each month

Cost of ticket using rider pass = 2.25 per ride

let x be the number of rides

Equation:

18.75 + 2.25x < 3x

⇒ 0.75x > 18.75

⇒ x > 25

Therefore, number of  train rides to frequent-rider pass a better deal than standard train tickets is 26 or more rides.
