Owen is signing up for a gym membership with a one-time fee to join and then a

monthly fee to remain a member. The one-time fee to join the gym is $100 and the
total cost of membership, including the joining fee, would be $200 for 2 months.
Write an equation for C, in terms of t, representing the total cost of the gym
membership over t months.

The cost of the monthly fee is 50$.. if the joining fee is 100.. take 200 and subtract that fee since it is included in the total. You’re left with 100. Note, the 200 is calculated for a 2 month period, so split the remaining 100 ,from the total 200, into 2. You’re left with 50 each month.

T=(C-100)/2 (T being 1 month) (C being the total cost/200)
