Question

Cassidy would like to join a new club at the YMCA. the cost is $12 to join the club and then $6 for each activity the club offers.if she has at $50 to spend on the club what is the most number of activities she can do

Answer 1

Given Data:

The cost for joining the club is: c = $12

The cost for one activity is: a = $ 6

The total amount that she has in her hand is: T = $ 50

let 'n' be the total number of activity that Cassidy able to join.

$\begin{gathered} T=c+n\times a \\ n=\frac{T-c}{a} \end{gathered}$

Substitute values in the above expression.

$\begin{gathered} n=\frac{50-12}{6} \\ n=\frac{38}{6} \\ n=6.33 \\ n\approx6 \end{gathered}$

Thus, Cassidy will be only able to join at most six activities.
