Shelly wants to join crossfit. The gym charges an initial membership fee of $60 and a monthly fee of $120. She has $900 to spend on a CrossFit memmbership. Write and solve an equation too find the number of months that Shelly can be a CrossFit memeber.

Answer 1

Shelly can be a CrossFit member is 8 Months

($60-900) / $120 = Months

Explanation:

Joining the gym costs 60$ so that would be your first month, it then costs $120 every month after. So we would start by subtracting $60 from the total $900

$60 - $900 = $840

Next you would divide your remaning money ($840) by the amount of money it cost per month ($120).

$840 / $120 = 7 Months

7 months plus the Enitial Month

The total number of months that Shelly can be a CrossFit member is 8 Months.
