Question

allyson can pay for her gym membership on a monthly basis, but if she pays for an entire years membership in advance, she'll recieve a $50 discount. Her discounted bill for the year would then be $526. what is the monthly membership fee at her gym?

Answer 1

Let 'x' represent the monthly membership fee for the gyp.

Since 1 year = 12 month for 1 year Alyson will pay 12x dollars.

But if she pay in advance 12x dollars she will receive $50 discount and pay $514:

12x - 50 = 514

x = $47

The monthly membership fee is $47.

hope it helps
