Question

Gold’s gym charges $150 to sign up and $10 per month. Fitness Express charges not initial fee but charges $25 per month. When will the costs be the same?

Answer 1

10 months

Explanation:

Let m represent # of months

Gold's gym charges 150 to sign up and 10 per month

150 + 10m

Fitness express charges no initial fee but charges 25 per month

25m

when will the costs be the same...when will they be equal...so set them equal and solve for m, the number of months

150 + 10m = 25m

150 = 25m - 10m

150 = 15m

150/15 = m

10 = m <==== the cost will be the same in 10 months

150 + 10m ....in 10 months

150 + 10(10) = 150 + 100 = 250

25m...in 10 months

25(10) = 250

so u see, in 10 months, they will both cost $ 250
