Spencer prepaid a 12-month membership to Power Score Gym. He recieved a one-time discount of $35 for prepaying. Spencer paid a total of $205.
Which equation can Spencer use to find m, the regular cost per month?
Let m be the regular cost per month.
The total cost for 12 months without any discount is 12m. Since Spencer received a one-time discount of $35 for prepaying, the total cost for 12 months with the discount is 12m - $35.
The equation to find m is 12m - $35 = $205.
To find the regular cost per month, we can set up the following equation:
m * 12 - 35 = 205
Here, m represents the regular cost per month, and 12 represents the number of months in the membership. We subtract the one-time discount of $35 from the total amount paid to find the regular cost per month.
To find the regular cost per month, we can set up an equation based on the information given.
Let's assume that m is the regular cost per month.
Since Spencer prepaid for a 12-month membership, the total cost of the membership before the discount would have been 12m.
However, he received a one-time discount of $35, so the total cost is now 12m - 35.
According to the information given, Spencer paid a total of $205. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:
12m - 35 = 205
Now we can solve this equation to find the regular cost per month (m).
