Question

You are joining Muscle Gym. It costs $50 to join and $4 per visit. You have budgeted $130 to spend on this gym this month. How many times can you go to the gym?

Answer 1

Answer: 20 times

Explanation:

The total cost must be equal to or less than $130;

$130 ≥

It costs $4 per visit. Let x be the number of visits;

$130 ≥ $4x

There is a $50 fee to join. We will assume it has not yet been paid since you "are joining" the gym;

$130 ≥ $4x + $50

Let us solve for x.

$130 ≥ $4x + $50

$80 ≥ $4x

20 ≥ x

You can go to the gym 20 times this month.
