To find out when the total cost for both health clubs will be the same, we need to set up an equation and solve for the number of months.
Let x be the number of months.
For Club A:
Total cost = $23 + $24x
For Club B:
Total cost = $21 + $25x
Setting the two equations equal to each other:
$23 + $24x = $21 + $25x
Subtract $21 from both sides:
$2 + $24x = $25x
Subtract $24x from both sides:
$2 = $x
Therefore, the total cost for each club will be the same after 2 months.
Total cost for Club A after 2 months: $23 + ($24 * 2) = $23 + $48 = $71
Total cost for Club B after 2 months: $21 + ($25 * 2) = $21 + $50 = $71
You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a fee of $ 23 plus a monthly fee of $ 24. Club B offers membership for a fee of $ 21 plus a monthly fee of $ 25. After how many months will the total cost of each health club be the same? What will be the total cost for each club?
