Question:
Please tell me what the answer is
Answer:
The people with the membership take seven classes
The people without the membership take five classes
Explanation:
As it says in the picture:
"A local gym has two different fees for their yoga classes. Members of the gym are charged a one-time membership fee of $25 and pay $5 per yoga class. Nonmembers do not pay a membership fee, but they pay $7 per class. How many yoga classes do nonmembers and members have to attend for their cost to be the same?"
First, what you would do is look for your key words in the sentence. What you'd take from the sentence is everything that I highlighted.
If the membership fee is $25 and yoga classes are $5 and nonmembers cost for yoga classes is $7 then you have your problem right there.
Next, what you would look for is your Greatest common divisor. (GCD) The GCD of 5 and 7 is 5 of course. So now what you would do is find out how many times 5 and 7 goes into five.
7 x 5 = 35
5 x 5 = 25
Now what you do is ask yourself the question, "How many times does the nonmembers and members have to go to class to have the same amount of money spent?"
Now I will answer this question for you.
five dollars for members.
seven dollars for nonmembers.
Your answer is: 7 x 5 (30)
