Problema Solution
Two different golf country clubs have the following membership fees and monthly costs. Ludwig's Fast 18 charges $100 membership fee and then $30 a month. Ocean Shore Country Club charges a $160 membership fee and then $10 a month. Find the number of months you must be a member to have the same cost for each cost.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the number of months, x>=0.
For x months Ludwig's Fast 18 will charge: 100 + 30x
For x months Ocean Shore Country Club will charge: 160 + 10x
We need to find x such that the two clubs charge the same, that is:
100 + 30x = 160 + 10x
