Question

Dan and Rick belong to different gyms. Dan’s gym charges $40 per month and $15 per private training class and Rick’s gym charges $70 per month and $5 per private training class. After how many private training classes will they have paid the same amount for their gym membership

Answer 1

3 private training exercises

Explanation:

Step 1: Write an equation for both.

Step 2: Subtract both gym membership prices together. Subtract the private training prices together.

Step 3: Divide the answer for the subtraction problems together.

Dans: 40m + 15p

Ricks: 70m + 5p

70 - 40 = 30

15 - 5 = 10

30 divided by 10 = 3

Answer = 3.

For Dan’s class it is 2 2/3 private lessons and for Rick’s class it is 14 private lessons.
