Question

Diana is comparing the membership costs at two fitness centers. The community fitness center costs $60 per month. The fitness center located where she works has a $100 registration fee and costs $40 per month. After how many months of membership will the costs be the same? 2 3 4 5

Answer 1

Answer: the answer is 5 or d

Answer 2

The indifference point is 5 months.

Explanation:

First, we need to structure the total cost formula for each fitness center:

Community center= 60x

Work center= 100 + 40x

x= number of months

Now, we equal the formulas and isolate x:

60x = 100 + 40x

20x = 100

x= 5

The indifference point is 5 months.
