Question

The expression 12.25m + 29.99 gives the cost (in dollars) of a gym membership for m months. You have $180 to spend on a

membership. Can you buy a one-year membership?

Answer 1

a year is 12 months, therefore inserting it into the equation in place of the m, it is 12.25(12) +29.99, which equals 176.99 being less than 180. therefore yes you can buy a 1 year membership

Answer 2

Explanation:

Well there are 2 ways to do this. I think the easiest way is just to figure out a 1 year membership

m = 12

Cost = 12.25 * 12 + 29.99

Cost = 147 +29.99

Cost = 176.99

Yes you can buy a one year membership with 3.01 left over
