Question

Tony wants to take karate lessons. The dojo is having a special monthly membership with

unlimited lessons. There is an initiation fee of $20 and each month of membership costs $52.50. If
Tony pays $230, write and solve an equation to determine how long his membership will last.

Answer 1

It’s going to be 4 months

Answer 2

4 months

Explanation:

So first you subtract 20 from 230 because of the initiation fee.

230 - 20 = 210

Then you divide 210 by 52.5 to find out how many months Tony's membership will last.

210/52.5 = 4.

So, Tony's membership will last 4 months.
