Question

You want to learn Latin salsa dancing at a fitness center. You have two options, option A is to pay a $260 registration fee plus $10 per lesson. Option B is to pay $30 for each lesson you attend. After how many lessons will the total costs of the two options be the same?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's call the number of lessons attended "x".

Option A: Total cost = $260 + $10x

Option B: Total cost = $30x

We want to find when the two options have the same cost:

$260 + $10x = $30x

Subtracting $10x from both sides:

$260 = $20x

Dividing both sides by $20:

x = 13

Therefore, after attending 13 lessons, the total cost for both options will be the same.
