Question

You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a fee of $ 19plus a monthly fee of $ 21.  Club B offers membership for a fee of $ 23plus a monthly fee of $ 20.  After how many months will the total cost of each health club be the​ same

Answer 1

Answer:

For 2 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let after x months the cost of each health club is same,

Now, In club A,

Membership fees = $ 19,

Monthly fees = $ 21,

So, the total fees for x months = membership fees + total monthly fees for x months

= 19 + 21x

In Club B,

Membership fees = $ 23,

Monthly fees = $ 20,

So, the total fees for x months = membership fees + total monthly fees for x months

= 23 + 20x

Thus, we can write,

19 + 21x = 23 + 20x

21x - 20x = 23 - 21

x = 2

Hence, for 2 months the total cost of each health club would be same.
