can anyone help me please with my homework
already did. can you make a stab at this one? Use the equations I gave you earlier.
what equation
To find out who would pay less during the first month of membership, we need to compare the total cost for each person.
For Sarah:
Monthly fee: $19.50
Registration fee: $59
Total cost = Monthly fee + Registration fee = $19.50 + $59 = $78.50
For Joe:
Monthly fee: $9.50
Registration fee: $149
Total cost = Monthly fee + Registration fee = $9.50 + $149 = $158.50
Comparing the total costs:
Sarah's total cost = $78.50
Joe's total cost = $158.50
Therefore, Sarah would pay less during the first month of membership as her total cost is $78.50, while Joe's total cost is $158.50.
