Step 1 : Let's review the information given to us to answer the problem correctly:
Community Gym = $50 (Membership fee) + $ 60 (Monthly fee)
Workout Gym = $ 225 (Membership fee) + $ 5 (Monthly fee)
Step 2: Let's write the equation to answer the question, as follows:
Let x to represent the number of months that the total amount paid to both gyms will be the same
Community Gym = Workout Gym
Therefore,
50 + 60x = 225 + 5x
Like terms:
60x - 5x = 225 - 50
55x = 175
Dividing by 55 at both sides:
55x/55 = 175/55
x = 3.18 months
0.18 * 30 = 5.4 days
Step 3: Interpretation of the answer
Approximately after 3 months and 5 days and a half the total amount paid to both gyms will be the same
