A local gym offers a trial membership for 3 months. It discounts the regular monthly fee x by $25. If the total cost of the trial membership is less than $100, you will consider signing up. What inequality can you use to determine whether you should sign up?

Respuesta :

x-25 < 100

x minus the $25 discount has to be less than 100

Answer:

The inequality you can use to determine whether you should sign up is:

                   [tex]3(x-25)<100[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

The regular monthly fee i.e. x is discounted by $ 25.

This means that now the monthly fee would be:

                     $ (x-25)

The membership is offered for three months.

This means that the cost for three months will be: $ 3(x-25)

Also,

The total cost of the trial membership must be less than $100.

i.e. the inequality which satisfies the above condition is given by:

                   [tex]3(x-25)<100[/tex]
