Question

Jen enjoys going to the local gym. She paid a $15 enrollment fee to join and also pays a monthly fee. She has been going to the gym for 6 months and has spent a total of $87. How much does jen pay each month

Answer 1

12$

Explanation:

It says she paid a fee of 15, since total for six months is 87 it means the fee is included. So basically taking out the fee she paid a total of 72.

NOW you can divide by 6. which will give you 12 dollars per month.

This can trick people because they dont subtract the fee and think they can just divide by 6.
