Problema Solution

The bus fare in a city is $2.00. People who use the bus have the option of purchasing a monthly coupon book for $26.00. With the coupon book, the fare is reduced to $1.00. Determine the number of times in a month a bus must be used so that the total monthly cost without the coupon book is the same as the total monthly with the coupon book.
