Answer

More than $41$ days

Work Step by Step

Let $x$ be the number of days swam to make the membership worth it. If you have a membership, the cost for $x$ days will be $82+x$, while if you do not purchase a membership the cost will be $3x$. Let's determine teh value of $x$ for which the cost is the same: $82 + x = 3x$ $2x = 82$ $x = 41$ Therefore, you need to swim more than $41$ days to make the membership worth it.
