A membership to the gym costs $25 per person in 1995. The membership cost has increased by an average of $6 per person for each year since 1995. Write a linear equation for the cost of a gym membership for one person since 1995.What is the cost of a gym membership in 2009?

Answer 1

The cost of a gym membership would be 109

Explanation:

2009-1995=14

thats how many years apart from each other

so its been 14 years $6 for each year so 14x6=84

so the regular price was $25 and went up 84 dollars last 14 years.

25+84=109 so the price of gym membership would be $109
