Answer:

Fit-Place charges a $135 startup fee and then $35 per month.

Means the cost here will be based on the equation :
135+35x where x is the number of months.

The Factory has no startup fee but charges $60 per month. Here the equation will be
60x, where x is the number of months.

Table ;

Months 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Fit-Place 170 205 240 275 310 345 380 415

The Factory 60 120 180 240 300 360 420 480

The total cost will be same in:


60x=135+35x

=>
60x-35x=135

=>
25x=135

x = 5.4 rounded to 5 months.

Now we can see that the total cost will be same in almost 5 months.
