A gym charges a $25 sign-up fee plus $25 per month. You have a $200 gift card for the gym. When does the total spent on your gym membership exceed the amount of your gift card?

Respuesta :

Answer:

After 7 months

Step-by-step explanation:

DATA:

⇒ Sign-up fee = $25

⇒ Monthly fee = $25

⇒ Number of months = y

⇒ Gift card = $200

Form an equation to calculate when the total spent on gym would exceed the amount of the gift card

Sign-up fee + (monthly fee x number of months) = Gift card amount

25 + 25y = 200

25y = 200-25

25y = 175

y = 7

Therefore, the total spent on your gym membership exceeds the amount of your gift card after 7 months.
