Answer 1

You Just Do 108 Times 6

Answer 2

Marcus's access fee per visit is $15.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It costs Marcus an access fee for each visit to his gym,

Let the access fee for each visit is x.

Plus it costs him $3 in gas for each trip to the gym and back.

Thus the total cost is: x + 3

This month it cost Marcus $108 for 6 trips to his gym.

Now multiply the above expression with 6 and put the value equal to 108.

6(x + 3) = 108

Divide both the sides with 6.

x + 3 = 18

Subtract both the sides by 3.

x = 18 - 3

x = 15

Hence, Marcus's access fee per visit is $15.
