Let's call the monthly payment amount x. Since Jamal makes 12 equal monthly payments, the total amount he pays in one year is 12x. Adding the $66 registration fee, we can set up the equation:

12x + 66 = 624

Now, we can solve for x by isolating the variable:

12x = 624 - 66
12x = 558
x = 558 / 12
x ≈ 46.50

So, the monthly payment amount is approximately $46.50.

Answer 3

Let's call the monthly payment amount x.

The total amount Jamal pays in one year is the sum of the registration fee and the 12 monthly payments, which is equal to $624.

So, we can set up the equation:

x + 12x = 624

Simplifying the equation:

13x = 624

Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 13:

x = 624 / 13

x ≈ 48

Therefore, the monthly payment amount is approximately $48.

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's create the correct equation to find the monthly payment amount.

Let's call the monthly payment amount x.
The total cost of the yearly membership, including the registration fee, is $624.

So, we can set up the equation:
x * 12 + 66 = 624

Simplifying the equation:
12x + 66 = 624

Now, we can solve for x by isolating the variable:
12x = 624 - 66
12x = 558
x = 558 / 12

x ≈ 46.50

Therefore, the monthly payment amount is approximately $46.50.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's simplify the equation further.

Let's call the monthly payment amount x.
The total cost of the yearly membership, including the registration fee, is $624.

To find the monthly payment amount, we can subtract the registration fee from the total cost and divide by 12 (the number of months):

(x * 12) + 66 = 624

Subtracting 66 from both sides of the equation:

x * 12 = 624 - 66
x * 12 = 558

Dividing both sides of the equation by 12:

x = 558 / 12

x ≈ 46.50

Therefore, the monthly payment amount is approximately $46.50.

Answer 11

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Apologies for the confusion before. Let's simplify the equation and explain it step by step.

Let's call the monthly payment amount x.
The total cost of the yearly membership is $624, which includes a $66 registration fee.

To find the monthly payment amount, we need to divide the total cost (excluding the registration fee) by the number of months, which is 12.

So, the equation to find the monthly payment amount is:

x + (12 * x) = 624

Now, let's simplify the equation:

1x + 12x = 624
13x = 624

To isolate x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 13:

x = 624 / 13

Simplifying further:

x ≈ 48

Therefore, the monthly payment amount is approximately $48.
