I did have to tweak the question this time slightly over my first one.
“I have a credit card with a $250 annual fee. I get 4 membership reward points for every dollar I spend on groceries. A membership reward point is worth 1.4 cents. How much would I need to spend on groceries in a year to break even ”
"To break even on the annual fee, you would need to earn rewards points that are worth at least $250.
Since you earn 4 Membership Rewards points for every dollar you spend on groceries, you would earn 4 * $1 = 4 points for every dollar you spend.
To find out how much you need to spend to earn at least $250 worth of rewards points, you can set up an equation:
4 points/dollar * x dollars = $250
where x is the amount you need to spend. Solving for x, we get:
x = $250 / (4 points/dollar) = $62.50
Therefore, you would need to spend $62.50 on groceries to earn enough rewards points to break even on the $250 annual fee."
Well, I guess it's going to take a third option: solve the word problem incorrectly.
