Tom and his best friend are going to join a gym. Tom saw that Platinum gym has a sale with a one time fee of $90 and a monthly f

ee of $30. Tom's friend sees that Super Fit only charges $20 a month, but its registration fee is $200. Write an equation that shows the membership cost for each gym (2 points). If Tom joins Platinum gym, how much would it cost for 6 months? (1 point) How much would it cost for Tom to join Super Fit? (1 point) How many months until it costs the same amount of money for both gyms? (2 points-show your work) Which gym deal is a better deal? (2 points for explaining)

Answer:

<u>Part 1:</u>

For Platinum Gym:

90 + 30x

For Super Fit Gym:

200 + 20x

<u>Part 2:</u>  $270

<u>Part 3:</u>  $320

<u>Part 4:</u>  11 months

<u>Part 5:</u>  See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part 1:</u>

Let "x" be the number of months:

For Platinum Gym:

90 + 30x

For Super Fit Gym:

200 + 20x

<u>Part 2:</u>

We put x = 6 in platinum gym's equation and get our answer.

90 + 30x

90 + 30(6)

90 + 180

=$270

<u>Part 3:</u>

We put x = 6 into super fit's equation and get our answer.

200 + 20x

200 + 20(6)

200 + 120

=$320

<u>Part 4:</u>

To find the number of months for both gyms to cost same, we need to equate both equations and solve for x:

90 + 30x = 200 + 20x

10x = 110

x = 11

So 11 months

<u>Part 5:</u>

We know for 11 months, they will cost same. Let's check for 10 months and 12 months.

In 10 months:

Platinum = 90 + 30(10) = 390

Super Fit = 200 + 20(10) = 400

In 12 months:

Platinum = 90 + 30(12) = 450

Super Fit = 200 + 20(12) = 440

Thus, we can see that Platinum Gym is a better deal if you want to get membership for months less than 11 and Super Fit is a better deal if you want to get membership for months greater than 11.

The area of a rectangle has decreased by 2%.
MissTica

Answer:

The other side was decreased to approximately .89 times its original size, meaning it was reduced by approximately 11%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start with the basic equation for the area of a rectangle:

l × w = a

And now express the changes described above as an equation, using "p" as the amount that the width is changed:

(l × 1.1) × (w × p) = a × .98

Now let's rearrange both of those equations to solve for a / l.  Starting with the first and easiest:

w = a/l

now the second one:

1.1l × wp = 0.98a

wp = 0.98a / 1.1l

1.1 wp / 0.98 = a/l

Now with both of those equalling a/l, we can equate them:

1.1 wp / 0.98 =  w

We can then divide both sides by w, eliminating it

1.1wp / 0.98w = w/w

1.1p / 0.98 = 1

And solve for p

1.1p = 0.98

p = 0.98 / 1.1

p ≈ 0.89

So the width is scaled by approximately 89%

We can double check that too.  Let's multiply that by the scaled length and see if we get the two percent decrease:

.89 × 1.1 = 0.979

That should be 0.98, and we're close enough.  That difference of 1/1000 is due to rounding the 0.98 / 1.1 to .89.  The actual result of that fraction is 0.89090909...  if we multiply that by 1.1, we get exactly .98.

$2,000 loan at 8% for 5 years.
Harman [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • $2,800 = Principle + Interest

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Using PRT/100, let's find the interest.

  • => 2,000 x 8 x 5/100
  • => 20 x 8 x 5
  • => $800

<u>Conclusion: </u>

Therefore, the interest plus principle is 2,000 + 800, which is $2,800.

Hoped this helped.
