Spencer prepaid a 12-month membership to Power Score Gym. He received a one-time discount of $35 for prepaying. Spencer paid a total of $205.

Question

Which equation can Spencer use to find m, the regular cost per month?

A
12m - 35 = 205

B
12(m - 35) = 205

C
35(m - 12) = 205

D
35m - 12 = 205

Answer 1

To find the regular cost per month (m), we start with the total cost for the 12-month membership after applying the discount.

The total cost without the discount would be \(12m\). Since Spencer received a one-time discount of $35, the equation representing the total amount paid after applying the discount would be:

\[ 12m - 35 = 205 \]

So, the correct equation Spencer can use to find \(m\) is:

A. \(12m - 35 = 205\).
