Question

Marty Moses purchased a two year membership at a local fitness center. He paid $475. What will be his cost per visit if he uses the facility once a week, twice a week, five times a week?

Answer 1

52 weeks = 1 year
104 weeks = 2 years

Once: 475/104 = $4.57 per visit
Twice: 475/104x2 = $2.28 per visit
Five Times: 475/104x5 = $0.91

Answer 2

$ 4.57 once a week,

$ 2.29 twice a week,

$ 0.91 five times a week.

Explanation:

Given,

The total payment for 2 years = $ 475,

⇒ Total payment for 1 year =
`(475)/(2)=\$ 237.5`

If the payment is paid once a week,

Then, the cost per visit

`=\frac{\text{Total payment for one year}}{\text{Number of weeks in a year}}`

`=(237.5)/(52)` ( 1 year = 52 weeks )

`=\$4.56730769231`

`\approx \$ 4.57`

If the payment is paid twice a week,

Then, the cost per visit

`=(237.5)/(104)`

`=\$2.28365384615`

`\approx \$ 2.28`

If the payment is paid five times a week,

Then, the cost per visit

`=(237.5)/(260)` ( 1 year = 52 weeks )

`=\$0.913461538462`

`\approx \$ 0.91`
