Membership warehouse clubs offer shoppers low prices, along with rewards of cash back on club purchases. If the yearly fee for a warehouse club membership is $100 and the reward rate is 2% on club purchases for the year, then the linear equation y=100−0.02x models the actual yearly cost of the membership y, in dollars. Here x represents the yearly amount of club purchases, also in dollars.

c) How much would a member have to spend in yearly club purchases to reduce the
yearly membership cost to $0?
