Chloe's gym charges an initial membership fee of $55 and a monthly fee of $19.50. She has $250 to spend on a membership for the gym. Write an expression to find the number of months Brittany can be a member of Chloe's gym. How many months can Brittany be a member of Chloe's gym?

Answer: the number of months for which Brittany can be a member of Chloe's gym is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of months for which Brittany can be a member of Chloe's gym.

Chloe's gym charges an initial membership fee of $55 and a monthly fee of $19.50. This means that for x months, the total charge for a month would be

19.5x + 55

If She has $250 to spend on a membership for the gym, then an expression to find the number of months Brittany can be a member of Chloe's gym would be

19.5x + 55 = 250

19.5x = 250 - 55 = 195

x = 195/19.5

x = 10
