membership fee of $12.00, but charges to
rent each movie is only $1.50 per movie.

1st store                        2nd store                  
$12 + $1.50= $13.50           $3                  1st movie
$13.50+$1.50= $15             $6                  2nd movie
$15+$1.50=$16.50               $9                  3rd movie
$16.50+$1.50=$18               $12                 4th movie
$18+ $1.50= $19.50              $15                 5th movie
$19.50 + $1.50= $22             $18                 6th movie
$22+$1.50=$23.50                 $21                  7th movie
$23.50+$1.50= $25                 $24                  8th movie
$25+$1.50= $26.50                 $27                   9th movie

So for this problem I would answer it as the following:
It would take both of the stores 9 movies for the total sale amount to be the same for each store.
