Can you help me with this word problem please?

Question

At a local fitness center members pay a $14 membership fee and $3 for each aerobics class nonmembers pay $4 for each aerobics class for one number of aerobics classes will the cost for members and nonmembers be the same

Answer 1

The non member pays $1 more for aerobics class than members but do not have to pay the $14 membership fee.

After 14 classes the nonmember paid $4 fourteen times. Since 4 = 3 + 1 we can think of the non member paying $3 fourteen times (Just like members) and $1 fourteen time (which equal $14 which is the price or membership). So the answer is 14 times.

Going less than 14 times it is cheaper to be a non member. Going more than 14 times it is cheaper to be a member. Going exactly 14 times cost is the same whether you are a member or not.
