Question

Fabulous fitness charges a one time fee of $90 and an additional $25 per month wonder weights charges a one time fee of only $ 27 dollars but charges an additional $32 each month for how many months is fabulous fitness less expensive than wonder weights? Set up and solve an equality to determine your answer

Answer 1

9 months

Explanation:

Given

Fabulous fitness charges a one-time fee of $90 and an additional $25 per month

let the number of months be x

and the total charges be y

y= 25x+90---------1

Wonder weights charges a one-time fee of only $ 27 dollars but charge an additional $32 each month

let the number of months be x

and the total charges be y

y= 32x+27------------2

Required

The value of x, that is the number of months

Step two:

Equating both equations we have

25x+90=32x+27

collect like terms

25x-32x=27-90

-7x=-63

7x=63

divide both sides by 7

x= 63/7

x= 9 months
