Jan spends part of her year as a member of a gym. She then finds a better deal at another gym, so she cancels her membership wit

h the first gym after x months and spends the rest of the year, y months, with the second gym. The membership to the first gym costs $75 per month, while the membership for the second gym costs $45 per month. If she ended up spending a total of $780 over the course of the year, how much time did she spend at each gym?

She spent 8 months in the 1st gym and 4 months in the 2nd gym

Step-by-step explanation:

Jan spends part of her year as a member of a gym.

  • She then finds a better deal at another gym so she cancels her membership with the first gym after x months
  • She spends the rest of the year, y months, with the second gym
  • The membership to the first gym costs $75 per month, while the membership for the second gym costs $45 per month
  • She ended up spending a total of $780 over the course of the year

We need to find how much time she spent at each gym

∵ She spent x months in the 1st gym

∵ She spent y months in the 2nd gym

∵ Her course is a year

- There are 12 months in a year

∴ x + y = 12 ⇒ (1)

∵ The membership to the first gym costs $75 per month

∵ The membership to the second gym costs $45 per month

∵ She ended up spending a total of $780 over the course

∴ 75x + 45y = 780 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -45 to eliminate y

∵ -45x - 45y = -540 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ 30x = 240

- Divide both sides by 30

∴ x = 8

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ 8 + y = 12

- Subtract 8 from both sides

∴ y = 4

She spent 8 months in the 1st gym and 4 months in the 2nd gym
