Nicole wants to join a health club. She is considering Be-Fit Club, which charges a one-time initiation fee of $160 plus a $40 per month membership fee. She is also considering Get Moving, which charges $55 per month with no initiation fee. For how many months of membership is Be-Fit a better deal?
A. 12 months or more
B. 12 months or less
C. 11 months or more**
D. 11 months or less
I need help, please!
160 + 40 m = 55 m
so
15 m = 160
m= 10 2/3 months
so you do not need help. 11+ is right. That 40/month looks good after 10 2/3 months
Full quiz plz
Oh, thank you!
Hey there! Let's do some math and see which club gives Nicole a better deal.
For Be-Fit Club, the total cost for x months would be: 160 + (40 * x).
For Get Moving, the total cost for x months would be: 55 * x.
So, to find out when Be-Fit becomes a better deal, we need to compare these two expressions.
We want to solve the inequality: 160 + (40 * x) < 55 * x.
After some calculations, we find that this inequality simplifies to x > 12. Therefore, for 12 months or more of membership, Be-Fit is a better deal.
So, the answer is A. 12 months or more.
Happy clowning around with those math problems!
To determine for how many months of membership Be-Fit is a better deal, we need to compare the total cost of membership for Be-Fit and Get Moving.
For Be-Fit Club:
- One-time initiation fee: $160
- Monthly membership fee: $40
The total cost of membership for Be-Fit Club can be calculated as the sum of the initiation fee and the product of the monthly fee and the number of months of membership:
Total cost of membership for Be-Fit Club = $160 + ($40 * number of months)
For Get Moving:
- Monthly membership fee: $55
The total cost of membership for Get Moving can be calculated by multiplying the monthly fee by the number of months of membership:
Total cost of membership for Get Moving = $55 * number of months
Now, we need to compare these total costs to see when Be-Fit becomes a better deal. Let's consider the options:
A. 12 months or more:
If Nicole plans to be a member for 12 months or more, we can compare the total costs.
The total cost of membership for Be-Fit Club would be:
$160 + ($40 * 12) = $160 + $480 = $640
The total cost of membership for Get Moving would be:
$55 * 12 = $660
Since $640 < $660, Be-Fit is a better deal for 12 months or more.
B. 12 months or less:
If Nicole plans to be a member for 12 months or less, we can compare the total costs.
The total cost of membership for Be-Fit Club would be:
$160 + ($40 * number of months)
The total cost of membership for Get Moving would be:
$55 * number of months
Since the total cost for Be-Fit depends on the specific number of months, we cannot make a general conclusion for 12 months or less.
C. 11 months or more:
If Nicole plans to be a member for 11 months or more, we can compare the total costs.
Following the similar calculation process as above, we can determine that Be-Fit is a better deal for 11 months or more.
D. 11 months or less:
If Nicole plans to be a member for 11 months or less, we can compare the total costs.
Again, the total cost for Be-Fit depends on the specific number of months, so we cannot make a general conclusion for 11 months or less.
Based on this analysis, we can conclude that Be-Fit is a better deal for 11 months or more of membership (option C).
