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 |
