Question

You are writing an equation to compare Jumping Jack Jym and Ginger's Gym. Jumping Jack has a one-time processing fee of $50 and cousts $25a month and Ginger's Gym $35 a month but has no processing fee. Which of the following equations represents when the two gyms will beequal in price?A. 25x + 50x = 35x B. 25x + 50 = 35x C. 50x + 25 =35xD. 25x+ 35x = 50

Answer 1

Let:

Cj = cost of Jumping Jack Jym

Cg = cost of Ginger's Gym

Cj = 50 + 25x

Where:

x = Number of months

Cg = 35x

We need to know when the two gyms will be equal in price, so:

`\begin{gathered} Cj=Cg \\ 50+25x=35x \\ or \\ 25x+50=35x \end{gathered}`
