Question

Harry's Health club costs $20 per month plus a $75 membership fee. Fiona's fitness costs $35 per month. What is the dollar amount at the break even point?

Answer 1

Answer: The break even point is after 5 months.

First, we need to set up an equation for each plan.

Harry's Health Club can be y = 20x + 75 because it starts at 75 and increase 20 per month.

Fiona's Fitness can be just y = 35x because it is just 35 per month.

Set the equation equal to each other and solve.

20x + 75 = 35x
75 = 15x
5 = x
