Question

it costs $100 to join a fitness center plus a monthly fee. you spent $700 last year at the fitness center. how much was the monthly fee? 
write and solve an equation to determine the monthly fee.

anonymous · Answer

Suppose the monthly fee is x. 
There are 12 months so the total fee would be 12x.
There is $100 fee for joining. 
So the overall equation would be:
$$12x + 100 = 700$$

anonymous · Answer

Solve the equation to get value of x.

anonymous · Answer

Equation is (700 / 12)

Solve
(700 / 12)
(58.3)

@emcrazy14 Not exactly, it says to write an equation to determine the MONTHLY fee.

anonymous · Answer

You have to consider the fee for joining too. It says that 700 is the total money spent.

anonymous · Answer

Oh, that's right. My bad.

anonymous · Answer

12x + 100 = 700
12x = 600
x = 50

Yeah, so the monthly fee is $50
