She is trying to decide which gym would be the best option if she's only planning on joining for 6 months. A. What would be the total cost for 6 months of membership at her local gym? (Charges $18.00 per month plus a sign-up fee of $95.00 ; Use the expression 18m+95 to find your answer.) B. What would be the total cost for 6 months of membership at the brand new gym? (Charges $52.00 per month and no sign-up fee. Use the expression 52m to find your answer.) C. Which gym would be the better deal for a 6 month membership? (Write either: Local Gym OR New Gym )

Answer 1

LOCAL GYM

Explanation:

Local gym :

Signup fee = $95 ; monthly cost = $18

6 months cost :

18m + 95

18(6) + 95 = $203

6 months cost at new gym :

$52 per month

Cost = $52 * 6 = $312

The best gym for a 6 month deal is the local gym

Local gym Cost < new gym cost
