$4.20
The discount price ($3) multiplied by 1.4
Explanation: 1.4 came from the whole of the discounted item plus the amount that was discounted before.
Answer:
a)
b) On the 5th month, the gym will have the same total cost of $165
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write the following expression for Gym A:

And we can write the following expression for Gym B:

This can we rewritten as

In order to find the total costs at which the gyms are the same, we must set them equal to each other, solve for m, and then substitute m into the equation.

Now we can substitute m into each equation
![20m+65=28m[tex]20(5)+65=28(5)+25\\\\100+65=140+25\\165=165](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=20m%2B65%3D28m%5Btex%5D20%285%29%2B65%3D28%285%29%2B25%5C%5C%5C%5C100%2B65%3D140%2B25%5C%5C165%3D165)
On the 5th month, the gym will have the same total cost of $165
In this situation, the order matters, since being 1st pick is not the same as being 2nd or 3rd. Therefore, there are 14 choices for the first pick, 13 remaining for the second pick, and 12 for the third pick. This is equivalent to the permutation 12P3.

ways
(If order did not matter, this would use a combination.)
The answer is 44.5. You would add all of the numbers shown above. This would get you a sum of 623. You would then count how many numbers there are in the question which is 14. Then divide 623 and 14 to get an average if 44.5
