Question

Write a rule that relates the number of months to the cost of a gym membership. What is the cost of a 1 year membership?

Sign up fee: $25
Then pay just $15 each month!

Answer 1

Explanation:

The rule that relates the number of months (m) to the cost (c) of a gym membership is:

c = 15m + 25

To find the cost of a 1 year (12 months) membership, we substitute m = 12 into the equation:

c = 15(12) + 25 = 205

Therefore, the cost of a 1 year membership is $205 (which includes the $25 sign up fee).
