Question

Warren Weightlifter joined a health club. There was a $40 registration fee and a $27.50 monthly fee. If Warren visits the club 3 times a week for a year, what does each workout cost him?

Answer 1

It is $2.37 per visit

Answer 2

Cost per each workout = $2.57

Explanation:

1. Determine the total costs:

Registration fee = $40

As one year has 12 months, Warren goes every month and each month has a fee of $27.50, the costs per year are:

Costs per year = 12*$27.50

Costs per year = 330

Therefore the total costs are:

Total costs = Registration fee + Costs per year

Total costs = $40 + $330

Total costs = $370

2. Find the cost per each workout.

As Warren visits the club 3 times a week for a year and a month has 4 weeks, and a year has 12 months, the calculation will be:

`Cost per each workout=(Totalcosts)/(Totaltime)`

Total time = 3 times a week*4 weeks a month* 12months a year

Total time = 144

So, replacing in the equation you have:

`Cost per each workout=(Totalcosts)/(Totaltime)`

`Cost per each workout=(370)/(144)`

`Cost per each workout=$2.57`
