To join a gym, your friend pays a one-time fee of $75 and $45 per month for the duration of the membership. Your friend has paid a total of $345. How long has your friend been a member of the gym? HELP ME1 :D
345 - 75 = 270
270 / 45 = ? months
Thank You soo much!! ;D
You're very welcome.
To determine how long your friend has been a member of the gym, let's break down the given information.
Firstly, your friend paid a one-time fee of $75. This fee is not recurring and will not change over time.
Next, your friend pays $45 per month for the duration of their membership. Since this amount is paid monthly, we can think of it as a recurring expense.
To find out how many months your friend has been a member, we need to subtract the one-time fee from the total amount paid and then divide the remaining amount by the monthly fee.
Let's assume the number of months your friend has been a member is represented by "x."
The total amount paid is $345, and the one-time fee is $75. So, the remaining amount that your friend paid as monthly fees is $345 - $75 = $270.
Since your friend pays $45 per month, we can divide the remaining amount ($270) by the monthly fee ($45) to find the number of months:
$x = \frac{270}{45}$
Simplifying the equation, we have:
$x = 6$
Therefore, your friend has been a member of the gym for 6 months.
