At Smith's club the pay-per-visit fee is $5 per day. would Smith save money paying per visit? Assume that a month has 4.3 weeks. what percentage of his monthly $90 fee would he spend if he paid on a per-visit basis?

2. IF Smith goes to the gym three times per week, what portion of the year does he use the gym?

If he goes 3 times per week = 4.3 * 3 = about 13 times per month.

$5 * 13 = $65

What does that tell you?

There are 52 weeks in a year. 52 * 3 = 156

Divide by 365.

To determine if Smith would save money paying per visit, we need to calculate the monthly cost under both payment options.

1. Monthly cost if paying per visit:
Since a month has 4.3 weeks, Smith would visit the gym approximately 4.3 * 3 = 12.9 times per month (rounding to the nearest whole number).
So, the monthly cost if paying per visit would be 12.9 * $5 = $64.50.

2. Monthly cost with a fixed fee:
Smith's monthly fee is $90.

To calculate the percentage of his monthly fee he would spend if he paid on a per-visit basis, we'll use the formula:

Percentage = (Monthly cost if paying per visit / Fixed monthly fee) * 100

Using the values we calculated:
Percentage = ($64.50 / $90) * 100 = 71.67%

Therefore, if Smith paid on a per-visit basis, he would spend approximately 71.67% of his monthly $90 fee.

Now, let's move to the second question:

To determine what portion of the year Smith uses the gym, we need to calculate the number of weeks he goes to the gym.

Since there are 52 weeks in a year, Smith goes to the gym 3 * 52 = 156 times per year.

To find the portion of the year he uses the gym, use the formula:

Portion = (Number of times he goes to the gym / Total number of weeks in a year) * 100

Using the values we calculated:
Portion = (156 / 52) * 100 = 300%

Therefore, Smith uses the gym approximately 300% of the year, which means he goes more than 3 times a week on average.
