At a recreation and sports facility, 3 members and 3 nonmembers pay a total of $180 to take an aerobics class. A group of 5 members and 3 nonmembers pay $210 to take the same class. How much does it cost members and nonmembers to take the aerobics class?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let cost to members be m ; Let cost to nonmembers be \"n\".
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATIONS:
\n" ); document.write( "3m + 3n = 180
\n" ); document.write( "5m + 3n = 210
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract the 1st equation from the 2nd to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2m = 30
\n" ); document.write( "m = $15 (amount members pay)
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"n\":
\n" ); document.write( "3m+3n= 180
\n" ); document.write( "45 + 3n = 180
\n" ); document.write( "15 + n = 60
\n" ); document.write( "n = 45 (amount nonmembers pay)
\n" ); document.write( "===============
