now you have paid a total of $281 to the gym. How many months have passed since you joined the gym?
months have passed since you joined the gym.

Answer 1

It has been 8 months since I joined the gym.

Explanation:

1. Subtract the registration fee from the total (which would be $281 - $25 = $256)

2. divide that total by $32 and you will get the total number of months you've gone to the gym. ( which would be $256 ÷ $32 = 8)
