A membership to the local gym costs $

Question

24.00 per month and has a registration fee of $
88. Write an equation that represents the cost (y) based upon the number of months (x).

The total cost is $

Answer 1

To represent the total cost \( y \) based on the number of months \( x \) for a gym membership, you can use the following equation:

\[ y = 24x + 88 \]

In this equation:

• \( 24x \) represents the monthly cost, which is $24 per month multiplied by the number of months \( x \).
• \( 88 \) is the one-time registration fee.

So, the total cost after \( x \) months is given by this equation.
