Question

Ty'Lil has $220 to spend on a membership to a new gym. The monthly fee is $15 and he must also pay $40 to join. How many months can he afford?

Answer 1

Answer: 12

Explanation:

220-40=180

180/15=12

Answer 2

11 months

Explanation:

220 -40=180

Since you have to pay $40 to join you have to add $15 to that $40 for the monthly fee.

220-40-15=156

^ This equals one month worth of the membership.

220-40-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15=0

So add up all the 15s and you have the number of months Ty ´Lil can afford.

I hope this makes sense.
