Question

A membership at Gym A costs $184. A registration fee of $28 is paid up front, and the rest is paid monthly. How much do new member pay each month. Define a variable for this real-world problem. interpret the solution

Answer 1

Let's denote the amount paid monthly by the variable "x".

According to the problem, the registration fee of $28 is paid up front and the rest is paid monthly. Since the total cost of the membership is $184, the remaining amount to be paid monthly can be calculated by subtracting the registration fee from the total cost:

x = $184 - $28
x = $156

Therefore, new members pay $156 each month.
