Question
A yoga studio has two participation plans. For the first plan, the cost is $8 per visit. For the second plan, the cost is $40 per month, and $2 per visit. Write an equation to show the number of visits per month that it would take for the two plans to be equal. Use x as your variable.(1 point)
Let's denote the number of visits per month as x.
The cost for the first plan, where it's $8 per visit, would be equal to 8x.
The cost for the second plan, where it's $40 per month plus $2 per visit, would be equal to 40 + 2x.
To find the number of visits per month that would make the two plans equal, we can set the costs equal to each other:
8x = 40 + 2x
Simplifying the equation:
8x - 2x = 40
6x = 40
Finally, dividing both sides by 6:
x = 40/6
Therefore, the equation is: x = 40/6.
