The cost, C, in dollars for a health club membership depends on the number of whole months, m, that you join. There is a $49.00 enrollment fee and the membership costs $20.00 per month. This function can be expressed with the equation C
C = $49 + $20m
The function to express the cost, C, of a health club membership can be written as:
C = 20m + 49
Where:
C is the total cost in dollars
m is the number of whole months that you join
20m represents the monthly cost multiplied by the number of months
49 is the enrollment fee, which is added to the total cost
To calculate the cost for a specific number of months, you would substitute the value of m into the equation and solve for C.
