Question

one family fitness ceter has a $50 enrollment fee and costs $30 per month. another center has no enrollment fee and cost $40 per month. write an equation for each option. let represent the total amount paid and m represent the number of months. in how many months will both fitness centers cost the same? what will cost be?

Answer 1

First family fitness center: 50 + 30m

Second center: 40m

At 5 months the fitness centers will cost the same because:

50 + 30(5) = 200

40(5) = 200
