Question

Casey wants to buy a gym membership. One gym has a $108 joining fee and costs $32 per month. Another gym has no joining fee and costs $59 per month.

Part 1 out of 2
In how many months will both gym memberships cost the same? What will that cost be? Both gym memberships will cost the same in months.

Answer 1

the number of months in which there membership cost would remain the same is 4 months

Explanation:

The computation of the number of months in which there membership cost would remain the same is shown below:

Let us assume the number of months be M

For Gym 1, the total cost is

= $108 + 32M

And, for Gym 2, the total cost is 59M

Now equal these two gyms cost

59M = $108 + 32M

59M - 32M = $108

27M = $108

M = 4 months

Hence, the number of months in which there membership cost would remain the same is 4 months
