How many user must mike recruit in order for him to steam movies for free? The service costs $43.75 a month, but mikes rate is reduced by $1.25 for each new subscriber that he gets to sign up.

35 subscribers

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide $43.75 by $1.25.

$43.75/$1.25 = 35

For each subscriber he gets, his service goes down by $1.25.

Since 35 * $1.25 = $43.75, for 35 new subscribers, his service will go down by $43.75.

He pays $43.75, so if the service goes down by $43.75, he will pay nothing since $43.75 - $43.75 = 0.

Answer: 35 subscribers
