Question

Sarah is planning to take

aerobics classes at a gym.
Non-members pay $8 per
class, while members pay $4
per class and a $20
membership fee. If Sarah
plans to take 6 aerobics
classes, should she become a
member of the gym? Explain
why or why not?

Answer 1

Sarah should become a member. She would be paying a lot less money and be able to take more classes for cheaper

Explanation:

Non member amount for 6 classes- $8*6= $48

Member amount for 6 classes- $4*6= 24 ($20 fee) = $44

As you can see above, the cost for 6 classes with a membership is cheaper than without a membership

Answer 2

Yes

Explanation:

Non members - 8*6 = $48

Members - 20+(4*6) = $46

She should become a member of the gym because she will pay $2 less overall.
