Answer:
The required equation is [tex]125+12x=725[/tex].
Monthly payment = $50
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that one year membership to a gym costs $725. The registration fee is $125, and the remaining amount is paid monthly.
Total membership fee = $725
Registration fee = $125
Let the monthly fee is x.
We know that,
1 year = 12 months
Total amount of 12 monthly payment = 12x
Registration fee + Monthly payment = Total membership fee
[tex]125+12x=725[/tex]
Subtract 125 from both sides.
[tex]125+12x-125=725-125[/tex]
[tex]12x=600[/tex]
Divide both sides by 12.
[tex]x=\frac{600}{12}[/tex]
[tex]x=50[/tex]
Therefore, new members should pay $50 each month.
