Respuesta :

$179.99-$24.99 = $155 

The $24.99 doesn't need to be used for anything else because that's just the fee for joining, so since he's already joined he won't have to pay that again. So now, take the remaining money he has ($155.00) and divide it by $12.50 (The cost of the membership per month). This will give you the number of months his membership will last.

155/12.50 = 12.4

So his membership will last 12.4 months.
so first, I would take the $24.99 and subtract the initiation fee from the amount Cleo pays, $174.99
which is $150.00
then I divide $150.00 by $12.50 which is 12 times
Because each month is $12.50/month, the 12 times means that the amount Cleo paid will last 12 months aka a year
