Answer:

Cost of per session the average rate is $45.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a gym membership with two personal training session cost $125, while gym membership with five personal training sessions cost $260.

It is required to find what is the cost per session.

Step 1 of 1

It is given that a gym membership with two personal training session cost $125, while gym membership with five personal training sessions cost $260.

To find the cost of per session calculate the average rate.

Now let $f(x)$ be the cost per session use the for the average rate of change, and the input value is the number of personal traings x.

$m=\frac{f\left(x_{2}\right)-f\left(x_{1}\right)}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Now substitute, $125 for $f\left(x_{2}\right)$, 260 for $f\left(x_{1}\right), 2$ for $x_{1}$ and 5 for $x_{2}$ then,

$m=\frac{260-125}{5-2} \ \begin{aligned}&=\frac{135}{3} \\&=45\end{aligned}$

Cost of per session the average rate is $45.
