looking to join a new gym and is analyzing how much money it will cost her to be a member. The gym has a one-time startup fee of $20 and costs $60 per month to maintain membership. From this information, Sunia develops the equation y = 60x + 20 to represent the total cost, y, of being a member for x months.

Question

Total cost (y) enter answer, enter answer, enter answer, enter answer, enter answer, enter answer

Answer 1

To find the total cost (y) for each month (x), we can substitute the values of x into the equation y = 60x + 20.

Using the given months: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

For x = 0:
y = 60(0) + 20
y = 0 + 20
y = 20

For x = 1:
y = 60(1) + 20
y = 60 + 20
y = 80

For x = 2:
y = 60(2) + 20
y = 120 + 20
y = 140

For x = 3:
y = 60(3) + 20
y = 180 + 20
y = 200

For x = 4:
y = 60(4) + 20
y = 240 + 20
y = 260

For x = 5:
y = 60(5) + 20
y = 300 + 20
y = 320

Completing the table, we get:

Months (x) Total cost (y)
0 20
1 80
2 140
3 200
4 260
5 320
