I dont know the answer

Question

A one-year membership to a gym costs $725. The registration fee is $125, and the remaining amount is paid monthly. Define a variable. Then write and solve an equation to find how much new members pay each month.

Answer 1

First define a variable X as the amount new members pay each month.

Next write an equation that you can solve to show the value of X.

You know the total paid for the first year is $725 and that the registration fee is $125.

You know there are 12 months in a year so you could do something like this as your equation.

12x=725-125

Then simplify it

12x=600

Divide both sides by 12 and you get the answer!!

Answer 2

One year is a total of $725. That includes a registration fee of $125, so the amount paid for the 12 month membership is ($725-$125 =) $600.

That means the monthly fee is ($600/12) = $50/month.
