Question

A gym membership costs $40 per month plus a one time sign up fee of $20. How many months would it take to spend $1000 for the gym membership?

Answer 1

40x+20=1000

40x-20=1000-20

40x=980

$\frac{40x}{40}$=$\frac{980}{40}$

x=24.5

It would take 24 and a half months to spend $1000 for the gym membership
