Answer 2

Linwood Street Pool

Explanation:

In order to compare the cost per visit, we need to divide the cost of the pass by the number of visits included in the pass.

Wickhills Town Pool:

`\sf \textsf{ Cost per visit} = (\$66)/( 12 visits) = \$ 5.50 \textsf{ per visit}`

Linwood Street Pool:

`\sf \textsf{Cost per visit }= (\$115 )/( 20 visits) = \$5.75 \textsf{ per visit}`

Since 5.75 is more than 5.50.

Therefore, Linwood Street Pool costs more per visit than Wickhills Town Pool.
