Answer: The membership will last for 12 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of months that the membership would last.
Cleo wants to join a gym. There is an initiation fee of $24.99, and each month of membership costs $12.50. This means that the total cost of using the gym for x months would be expressed as
12.5x + 24.99
If Cleo pays $174.99, it means that
12.5x + 24.99 = 174.99
12.5x = 174.99 - 24.99
12.5x = 150
x = 150/12.5
x = 12

year, the average math SAT score for students at one school was 475. The
headmaster then introduced a new teaching method hoping to improve scores. This
year, the mean math SAT score for a sample of students was 491. The headmaster
concluded that the new teaching method produces higher SAT scores. The problem
with reporting results this way is voluntary response. The information of how
the teaching method isnot mentioned.</span>
By finding like denominators, you can add the fractions on each side. Then, compare by cross multiplying.
20 should be the answer because 205 divided by 10 =20
We should find the original number, 7 of 1/10. We divide the known number for the numerator, than multiply for denominator.
7 : 1 = 7 * 10 = 70 <- answer
So 7 is 1/10 of 70
We can check our work:
1/10 of 70 = 7?
70 : 10 = 7*1 = 7
