A local gym charges $15.00 per month for membership and additional $3.25 for each class. If the monthly charge is $54.00 how many classes did you take

What is the first step

54 = 15 + 3.25 x

The first step is to determine the cost of the monthly membership. Since the total monthly charge is $54.00 and the membership fee is $15.00, we need to subtract the membership fee from the total charge to calculate the cost of the classes.

54.00 - 15.00 = 39.00

Therefore, the cost of the classes is $39.00.
