A gym charges $45 to become a member and $5 each time you visit. Non-members pay $8 each time they visit. After how many visits will it cost the same?
Let the amount of visits for members' and non-members' costs to be equal, be V
Then a member pays a total of 45 + 5V for one-time membership fee and each visit
A non-member pays 8V for each visit
Costs will be same when 45 + 5V = 8V
45 = 8V - 5V
45 = 3V
V, or amount of visits for members' and non-members' cost to be the same = , or
You can do the check!!
