The yearly membership at the local gym costs $624, which is inclusive of a $66 registration fee. To determine the monthly payment amount, we subtract the registration fee from the total cost, giving us $624 - $66 = $558. Since there are 12 equal monthly payments, we can divide the total cost by the number of months: $558 รท 12 = $46.50. Therefore, Jamal's monthly payment amount is $46.50.
