Tom is deciding whether or not he should become a member of the gym to use their basketball courts. The membership cost is $125. Members pay $3 to rent out the basketball courts. How many times can Tom play basketball if he wants to spend no more than $200?
First find how many times Tom can rent the basketball court before he hits his budget limit: $200 - $125 = $<<200-125=75>>75
Then divide that amount by the cost per rental to find how many rentals Tom can afford: $75 / $3/rental = <<75/3=25>>25 rentals. Answer: \boxed{25}.
