Question

Julio joined an athletic club. There was a one-time fee of $49.95 to join the club, plus a monthly fee of $24.95. Julio has paid $424.20 to be in the club for m months. Write an equation that could be used to determine how many months Julio has been in the athletic club.

Answer 1

c (cost)
m (month)


c= xm + b

$424.20= 24.95m+ $49.95

Move everything except variable on one side.

424.20 - 49.95 = $374.24

$374.25 = 24.95m

Divide by 24.95

m = 15

15 Months
