A gym membership costs $25 to join and $14 each month. Write and use an algebraic expression to find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months.
The algebraic expression to find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months is: 25 + (14 * 6) = 25 + 84 = $<<25+(14*6)=109>>109. Answer: \boxed{109}.
Can you make it simpler
Yes, of course!
To find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months, you can multiply the monthly fee by the number of months and add the initial joining fee.
The simplified algebraic expression would be:
Total cost = (Monthly fee * Number of months) + Joining fee
In this case, the monthly fee is $14 and the joining fee is $25. Therefore, the simplified expression would be:
Total cost = (14 * 6) + 25
= 84 + 25
= $109
So, the cost of the gym membership for 6 months is $109.
This is the correct cost for a 6 month membership, but you also need to write an algebraic expression that uses a variable to represent the number of months. That way you can use it to find the total cost for any number of months by replacing the variable with the desired number of months.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's write an algebraic expression using a variable to represent the number of months:
Total cost = (Monthly fee * Number of months) + Joining fee
Let's use "m" as the variable to represent the number of months. So, the algebraic expression would be:
Total cost = (14 * m) + 25
Now, we can substitute m with 6 to find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months:
Total cost = (14 * 6) + 25
= 84 + 25
= $109
Similarly, if we want to find the cost for a different number of months, say 8 months, we substitute m with 8 in the expression:
Total cost = (14 * 8) + 25
= 112 + 25
= $137
This way, we can find the total cost for any number of months by replacing the variable m with the desired number of months in the algebraic expression.
To find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months, we need to consider the initial joining fee of $25 as well as the monthly fee of $14.
The total cost of the gym membership for 6 months can be expressed algebraically as:
Cost = Initial joining fee + Monthly fee * Number of months
Plugging in the values, we get:
Cost = $25 + $14 * 6
Simplifying the expression:
Cost = $25 + $84
Calculating:
Cost = $109
Therefore, the cost of the gym membership for 6 months is $109.
To find the cost of the gym membership for 6 months, you need to consider the one-time joining fee of $25 and the monthly fee of $14.
Let's break down the cost:
Joining fee: $25
Monthly fee: $14 per month
Since you are considering 6 months, you need to multiply the monthly fee by the number of months:
$14 x 6 = $84
Therefore, the cost of the gym membership for 6 months, including the joining fee, is $84 + $25 = $109.
To summarize, the algebraic expression for the cost of the gym membership for 6 months would be:
Cost = (Number of months x Monthly fee) + Joining fee
Substituting the values:
Cost = (6 x 14) + 25
= 84 + 25
= 109
So, the answer is $109.
