When a pass pays off
How many times must you go before a pass is worth it?
Today you'll discover
- a pass's price per visit
- adding up visits one at a time
- the visit where the pass wins
Think first$5.00 a visit, or $35.00 for 10 visits
The pool is $5.00 a visit, or $35.00 for a 10-visit pass. Is the pass less per visit?
Decide first, then press Next. Watch the running total grow one visit at a time.
Two rows, each with a bar 10 visits long. Pay each visit: $5.00 a visit. 10-visit pass: $35.00. The bars are cut into numbered visits; then the pass works out to $35.00 ÷ 10 = $3.50 a visit. Then the top bar shows running totals, $5, $10, $15 up to $50, with visit 7 ringed: 7 × $5.00 = $35.00, the same as the pass. The last step asks about a skating rink.

The big idea
A pass pays off once paying for each visit would have cost as much as the pass.
Add up, visit by visit
$5, $10, $15, $20, $25, $30, $35. At visit 7, paying each time has cost as much as the $35.00 pass.
- Visit 5$25
- Visit 6$30
- Visit 7$35
Easy to get wrongThe pass's unit price, $3.50, only counts if you use the visits. Fewer than 7 swims, and paying each time costs less.
Key word
- pass
- one payment for several visits or uses, such as 10 swims for $35.00
