Question

Frank joined a fitness club. He paid a $50 registration fee, and dues are $12 per month. Which expression can be used to find the average monthly cost of an x-month membership at the club?

Answer 1

Each month, Frank pays $12, which is represented by the equation 12x, with x the number of months.
And to know how much he Pay in total, we add 50 dollars to the 12x.
So the problem can be represented by the equation: 12x + 50.

Hope this Helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer: The expression will be $\frac{50+12x}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation: Frank has to pay $50 as the registration fee. This amount is compulsory to be paid

Step 1: Dues for $12 months

Let the due to be paid every month be $x, so dues to be paid for 12 months will be 12x

Step 2: Expression for the average monthly cost for x-month will be

Expression: $\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total months}}$

Total cost = 50 + 12x

Expression: $\frac{50+12x}{x}$
