Casey wants to buy a gym membership.

Question

One gym has a $150 joining fee and costs $35 per month. Another gym has no joining fee and costs $60 per month. When would Casey pay that same amount to be a member of either gym? how much would he pay?

Answer 1

Gym 1: 150 + 35M

Gym 2: 60m

60m = 150 + 35m

Subtract 35m from each side

25m = 150

Divide by 6

m = 6
