Answer 1

To calculate the total cost for 2, 4, 5, and 8 visits with the membership fee included, we will use the following formula:

$$\text{Total Cost }(c)=\text{Membership Fee}+(\text{Cost per Visit}\times \text{Number of Visits}(v))$$

Given:

• Membership Fee = $80.00
• Cost per Visit = $12.00

Now, we can calculate the total cost for each number of visits:

1. For 2 visits:
   $$c=80+(12\times 2)=80+24=104$$
   Total Cost for 2 visits = $104.00

2. For 4 visits:
   $$c=80+(12\times 4)=80+48=128$$
   Total Cost for 4 visits = $128.00

3. For 5 visits:
   $$c=80+(12\times 5)=80+60=140$$
   Total Cost for 5 visits = $140.00

4. For 8 visits:
   $$c=80+(12\times 8)=80+96=176$$
   Total Cost for 8 visits = $176.00

Now, let's fill in the table:

| Number of visits (v) | Total cost (c) | |-----------------------|------------------| | 2 | $104.00 | | 4 | $128.00 | | 5 | $140.00 | | 8 | $176.00 |
