Fill in the table to find how much it costs for 2, 4, 5, and 8 visits. Use the calculator to help you solve.

5 $
8 $

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 |
