Cael Salazar · Answer 1

We make sample calculations per month, assuming that you visit the gym x times per month.

(1) $39.95 per month

(2) total = $14.95 + $2.95x

If we have the value of x, it is much easier for us to determine the answer by just substituting the value of x and solve. Whichever gives the lower cost will be our answer.
