Expert Solution

Given data:

The given rewards points for signing up is R=85.

The number of points earned for each visit to the movie theater is m=6.5.

The total points needed for a free movie ticket is F=176 points.

The expression for the total points for a free movie ticket is,

F=R+xm

Here, x is the number of visits to the movie theater.

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

176=85+x6.56.5x=91x=14
