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
First, you divide the price by the amount of units in the pack. This is how you find how much one unit is worth in that pack. So for the first pack you divide 1.12 by three, and then you have .37333 repeating, which is about 38 cents. Next is the second pack, where we divide 4.38 by 12 which is .365, which is about 37 cents. The last pack is 8.68 divided by 24 which is .361, or about 36 cents. This means that the 24 pack is the best buy.
In real life you should also consider which would be too much for you or not enough. For example, you might not even need 24 units of juice. You might only need 12 so you don't have too much extra. But hey, this is just a math problem ;)
