Question

Kiera and Trina joined a gym. The gym offers two different payment plans. Kiera chose Plan 1 and pays $25 a month and no fee to join. Trina chose Plan 2 and pays $10 a month, plus a $100 joining fee. Which equation models Kiera’s total payments, t1, and Trina’s total payments, t2, after m months?

Answer 1

t1 = $25m

t2 = $(10m + 100)

Explanation:

Here we want to write equations

Kiera chose plan 1

$25 monthly and no joining fee

So the amount after m months will be 25 * m

t1 = $25m

Trina chose plan 2

$10 a month and $100 joining fee

after m months , total payment will be

10(m) + 100 = $(10m + 100)

Thus t1 = $25m and t2 = $(10m + 100)
