At a local gym, there is an initial fee of $59.95 to join the gym and a monthly membership fee. Sam and Maria both joined the gym. Their combined cost for 12 months was $1319.90.
How much is the monthly fee?
(1319/2)- 59.95 = _______ yearly fee
Divide the yearly fee by 12 to find the monthly fee.
Would I divide 1319.90 or just simply 1319?
OOps, sorry! Divide 1319.90 by 2.
ohh Thank you, i was confused for a min. but thank you very much!
You're very welcome.
To find the monthly fee, we first need to subtract the initial fee from the total cost for 12 months.
Total cost for 12 months = Initial fee + 12 * Monthly fee
We know that their combined cost for 12 months was $1319.90, and the initial fee to join the gym is $59.95.
So, $1319.90 - $59.95 = 12 * Monthly fee
Therefore, 12 * Monthly fee = $1259.95
To find the monthly fee, we divide both sides of the equation by 12:
Monthly fee = $1259.95 / 12
Calculating this gives us:
Monthly fee ≈ $104.99
Therefore, the monthly fee is approximately $104.99.
