A 2-month membership to the gym costs $125. Jim would like to be a member for 8 months. What is the total amount he will pay for 8 months?
To find the total amount Jim will pay for 8 months of membership at the gym, you need to multiply the cost of a 2-month membership by the number of times that 2-month membership fits into 8 months.
The cost of a 2-month membership is $125.
To calculate the total amount Jim will pay for 8 months, divide 8 (the number of months) by 2 (the number of months in one membership) to find out how many 2-month memberships he will need to purchase.
8 / 2 = 4
Since Jim needs to purchase 4 two-month memberships for 8 months, you can now multiply the cost of one 2-month membership ($125) by the number of memberships he needs to get.
$125 x 4 = $500
Therefore, the total amount Jim will pay for 8 months of membership is $500.
