It costs $100 to join a fitness center plus a monthly fee. You spent $700 last year at the fitness center. How much was the monthly fee? Write and solve an algebraic equation to determine the monthly fee.
A. Let x be the amount of money you can spend. Then the inequality is:
5 - 2.25 ≤ x
2.75 ≤ x
Therefore, you can spend at most $2.75 more.
B. The monthly fee can be represented by the variable f. Then, we can write the equation:
f × 12 + 100 = 700
Simplifying, we get:
f × 12 = 600
Dividing both sides by 12, we get:
f = 50
Therefore, the monthly fee is $50.
