Question

Mrs. Burgess will go to the gym on 20 different days this month. A one day pass to the gym costs $9.65. A monthly pass to the gym costs $145. How much will Mrs. Burgess save by buying a monthly pass?

Answer 1

Mrs. Burgess will save $48 by buying a monthly pass.

Explanation:

Let's compare the one-day pass to the monthly pass by finding how much 20 one-day passes will cost.

Multiply the price for a one day pass, $9.65, to the gym by 20 days:

• $9.65 * 20 = $193

Compare this price to the monthly pass price by subtracting these values.

• $193 - $145 = $48

If Mrs. Burgess buys the monthly pass of $145 instead of buying 20 day passes for $193, she will save $48.
