Question

At a local fitness​ center, members pay a ​$10 membership fee and ​$4 for each aerobics class. Nonmembers pay ​$6 for each aerobics class. For what number of aerobics classes will the cost for members and nonmembers be the​ same?

Answer 1

5 classes

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of aerobics classes

Create an equation that sets the member and nonmember prices equal to each other, then solve for x:

4x + 10 = 6x

10 = 2x

5 = x

So, after 5 aerobics classes, the costs will be the same.
