You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a fee of $ $11 plus a monthly fee of $ $19. Club B offe
rs membership for a fee of $15 plus a monthly fee of $18. After how many months will the total cost of each health club be the same? What will be the total cost for each club?
Using the variable m for month Club A: Club B: 19m+11 19m+11=18m+15 18m+15 -18m -18m m+11= 15 -11 -11 m=4 Check 19(4)+11 = 87 18(4)+15= 87 total cost = 87
Club A is 11+19m
Club B is 15+18m
When they cost the same the two expressions are equal so:
11+19m = 15+18m
M. = 4
In 4 months the two health clubs will cost the same amount. The cost of each club is $87.
