Answer:
Total cost of membership will be the same for both gyms after 5 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Suzy's Sculpting gym charges a $10 application fee and $12 per month for membership.
Tami's Toning does not charge an application fee, but charges $14 per month for membership.
To find: After how many months will the total cost of membership be the same for both gyms
Solution:
Let [tex]t[/tex] denotes number of months after which total cost of membership will be the same for both gyms
For Suzy's Sculpting gym,
Total charges [tex]= 10+12t[/tex]
For Tami's Toning,
Total charges [tex]=14t[/tex]
Now solve [tex]10+12t=14t[/tex]
[tex]10+12t=14t\\10=14t-12t\\10=2t\\t=\frac{10}{2}\\ t=5[/tex]
So, total cost of membership will be the same for both gyms after 5 months.
