Given that, 

Case 1: Per night charge is $125.

Case 2: In case of One year membership, yearly fee is $350 plus $75 per night.

a. We need to find the better deal.

Suppose number of nights x and total cost is y.

Case 1:

Total cost = (Per night charge)*(Number of nights)

                         Algebra homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Case 2:

Total cost = (Per night charge)*(Number of nights) + fixed charge

                        Algebra homework question answer, step 1, image 2

If number of nights less than 7 case 1 is better deal. 

If number of nights greater than 8 case 2 is better deal. 

If number of nights is equal to 8 both deal are same cost.
