Question

A local recreation center offers a yearly membership for $265. The center offers aerobics classes for an additional $5 per class.

a. Write an equation that represents the total cost of the membership. Suppose that y is the total cost and x the the number of classes











b. Carly spent $500 one year. How many aerobics classes did she take?

Answer 1

A. 5x + 265 B. 47 classes

Step-by-step explanation:

B. 47 classes

First, subtract the membership fee.

500 - 265 = 235

Next, divide 235 by the cost of each class.

235 / 5 = 47

Therefore, Carly took 47 classes.
