Question

Barrett is comparing the membership fees for two museums.The art museum charges a one-time fee of $8.25 plus $2.25 per month. The science museum charges a one-time fee of $10.75 plus $3.50 per month. How much does Barrett save after m months by joining the art museum instead of the science museum?

Answer 1

$2.50+$1.25 times M

Explanation:

$10.75-$8.25=$2.50

$3.50-$2.25=$1.25

$2.50+$1.25=$3.75

As only one-time fee, we cancel out it, then only add on the per-month fee, which is $1.25 every month.
