Answer:
10 trips
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of trips to the gym be represented by t
Option A is to buy a membership card for $20 and pay $2 each time you go to the gym.
$20 + $2× t
20 + 2t
Option B is to pay $4 each time you go.
$4 × t
= 4t
After how many trips to the gym will the cost be the same?
Option A = Option B
20 + 2t = 4t
Collect like terms
20 = 4t - 2t
20 = 2t
t = 20/2
t = 10 trips.
After 10 trips, the gym cost will be the same.
