Question

LaToya decides to join a gym for a minimum of one month to train for a triathlon. The gym charges a beginner's fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $38. If x represents the number of months that LaToya is a member of the gym, the equation below can be used to determine C, her total membership fee for that duration of time:

100 + 38x = C

LaToya has allocated a maximum of $404 to spend on her gym membership. Which number line shows the possible number of months that LaToya can be a member of the gym?
