(a) The Feelgood Gym has monthly membership fee of $100 and it charges an additional $1 per hour. If use the gym for x hour month, write down an expression for the total cost in terms of x
(b) Repeat part (a) the Fabulous Gym, which charges $35 per month and $3.50 per hour
(c) By plotting both graphs on the same axes or otherwise, find the number of hours which give the same total cost

Respuesta :

(a)Expression for total cost (Feelgood Gym) is 1x+100

(b) Expression for total cost (Fabulous Gym )  is 3.5x+35

(c) 26 hours gives the same total cost for both gym

Given :

The Feelgood Gym has monthly membership fee of $100 and it charges an additional $1 per hour.

Let x be the hours used per month

Total cost = hours used (1 per hour ) + membership fee

Total cost for Feelgood Gym =[tex]1x+100[/tex]

Expression for total cost is 1x+100

the Fabulous Gym, which charges $35 per month and $3.50 per hour

Total cost =hours used (3.50 per hour ) + 35

Total cost for Fabulous Gym=[tex]3.50x+35[/tex]

Expression for total cost (Fabulous Gym )  is 3.5x+35

Now we graph both the equation y=1x+100 and y=3.50x+35 on same graph

then find the point of intersection of both the graphs

The graph is attached below . The point of intersection is (26,126)

The total cost is same when x=26

26 hours gives the same total cost for both gym
