Question

LaToya decides to join a gym for a minimum of one month to train for a triathlon. The gym charges a beginner's fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $38. If x represents the number of months that LaToya is a member of the gym, the equation below can be used to determine C, her total membership fee for that duration of time:

100 + 38x = C

LaToya has allocated a maximum of $404 to spend on her gym membership. Which number line shows the possible number of months that LaToya can be a member of the gym?

Answer 1

8 months

Explanation:

Answer 2

First we know that the maximum of money to spend is $404. Then we will put it in equation:
100+38 x=404
38 x=404-100
38 x=304
x= 304:38
x= 8
So the answer is 8 months.
