Question

You want to join a new pool. Beckett Pool charges a $90 membership fee and $25 per month. Lakota Hills Pool charges a $45 membership fee and $40 per month. After how many months is the total cost the same at both pools?

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

if m is the number of months

Beckett: 90 + 25m

Lakota Hills 45 + 40m

so 90 + 25m = 45 + 40m

40m - 25 = 90 - 45

15m = 45

m = 45/15 = 3
