You are choosing between two health clubs. Club a offers membership for a fee of $14 plus a monthly fee of $18. Club b offers membership for a fee of $28 plus a monthly fee of $16. After how many months will the total price of each health club be the same? What will be the total cost for each club?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the number of months.
For x months Club A will charge: 14 + 18x
For x months Club B will charge: 28 + 16x
Since the total price of each club needs to be the same we have:
14 + 18x = 28 + 16x
