A membership at Gym A costs $50 for 5 months. A membership at Gym B down the street costs $40 for 3 months. You write two equations in the form of y=kx to try and figure out which membership would be cheaper for a year. What is the value of k for the cheaper membership?(1 point)..

Answer 1

To find the value of k for the cheaper membership, we need to determine the cost per month for each gym membership.

For Gym A, the cost is $50 for 5 months. Thus, the cost per month can be calculated as: 50/5 = $10.

For Gym B, the cost is $40 for 3 months. Thus, the cost per month can be calculated as: 40/3 = $13.33 (rounded to two decimal places).

Since the cost per month for Gym A is $10 and for Gym B is $13.33, we can conclude that the value of k for the cheaper membership is 10.
