Answer:

Geo pays $43.75 per month for the gym.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Membership fee = $25

Amount paid for year = $550

Let,

a be the amount he pays per month.

And there are 12 months in a year.

Total amount = Membership fee + 12 * Per month fee

550 = 25 + 12a

550 - 25 = 12a

525 = 12a

12a = 525

Dividing both sides by 12

$\frac{12a}{12}=\frac{525}{12}\\a=43.75$

Hence,

Geo pays $43.75 per month for the gym.
