PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!

World Gym has an initial fee of $100 and $50 per month. Flex Gym has an initial fee of $200 and $25 per month. How many months will it take
until you would pay the same amount to join at both gyms?
a. 4 months
b. 5 months
C. 2 months
d. 6 months

Answer 1

a. 4 months

Explanation:

• set up an expression for each and put them equal to each other
• this is the way you can use to solve these kinds of problems
• break down the question into parts

m stands for months

world gym = 100 + 50m

flex gym = 200 + 25m

• now put them equal to each other to know how many months it will take to pay the same amount to join

100 + 50m = 200 + 25m

50m = 100 + 25m

25m = 100

m = 4

• this means it will take 4 months to pay the same amount to join
