Carla wants to make sure she's able to afford her yearly gym membership, which costs

\[\$480\]. She wants to set aside equal monthly amounts so she will have the full amount ready when it's time to renew. She has
\[12\] months until her next payment is due.
How much money will Carla need to save each month?
\[\$\]
per month

To find out how much money Carla needs to save each month, we divide the total cost of the gym membership by the number of months she has to save.

\(\frac{480}{12} = 40\)

So Carla needs to save $40 per month.
