Question

Felicia pays $15 each time she goes to the YMCA to workout. She used $20 off student discount coupon and at the end of the month she ended up paying a total of $145. How many times did Felicia go to the gym that month? Solve the equation and show your work

Answer 1

She went 11 times. 15x11=165. 165-20=145.

Answer 2

She paid $145 and a a discount of $20.

The original total is 145 + 20 = $165

Now divide the original total by the amount per visit:

165 / 15 = 15 visits.
