Question 698986: Samara is planning to get back in shape. The fitness center closest to her home has a yearly pass for $39.95 per month plus a $25 enrollment fee, or she could pay $5 per day that she goes. Because of her work and school schedule, she will only be able to go three times per week. Which plan option would best fit Samara's needs?
I need an equation for both plans. I've come up with plan A: y=39.95x+25 and Plan B: y=5x*52.
I need help creating an equation for Plan B. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have to compare paying a monthly fee with
the $5/day plan
If she goes 3 times a week for a month, that is
( 3 days/wk ) x ( 4 weeks/month ) = 12 days / month
( $5/day ) x ( 12 days/month ) = $60 / month
----------
With the monthly fee,
her cost/month = $39.95 + $25 = $64.95
----------
Paying $5/day each time she goes is cheaper by = $4.95
