Let's start by defining some variables. Let's use "m" to represent the monthly fee.
We know that it costs $100 to join the fitness center, so the total cost for one year of membership can be represented as:
Total cost = $100 (one-time fee to join) + 12 months x monthly fee
Total cost = $100 + 12m
We also know that the total cost for one year of membership was $700, so we can set up an equation:
$700 = $100 + 12m
To solve for "m", we can start by subtracting $100 from both sides:
$700 - $100 = $100 - $100 + 12m
$600 = 12m
Finally, we can solve for "m" by dividing both sides by 12:
$600 / 12 = 12m / 12
$50 = m
Therefore, the monthly fee for the fitness center is $50.

Let's use "m" to represent the monthly fee.
The total amount spent on the fitness center in a year would be the sum of the one-time joining fee and the monthly fees for 12 months.
So, the equation can be written as:
100 + 12m = 700
Subtracting 100 from both sides:
12m = 600
Dividing both sides by 12:
m = 50
Therefore, the monthly fee for the fitness center is $50.

You have $5 for lunch. You bought a turkey sandwich for $2.25.
A. Write an inequality that represents how much more money you can spend.
B. Solve your inequality.
A. Let x be the amount of money that you can spend more. Then, we can write:
$5 - $2.25 ≤ x
Simplifying this inequality, we get:
$2.75 ≤ x
Therefore, the inequality that represents how much more money you can spend is x ≥ $2.75.
B. We don't need to solve the inequality, as it is already solved in part A. The answer is x ≥ $2.75.
