A fitness center charges a membership fee plus a fixed amount per day for each day the center is used. If Claire paid 105 for 30 days of use, and Adrian paid 123 for 39 days of use, how many dollars is the membership fee?
+9465 Let's call the membership fee " a " and the cost per use " b " .
Claire paid a total of 105 for the membership and for 30 uses.
105 = a + 30b
Adrian paid a total of 123 for the membership and for 39 uses.
123 = a + 39b
123 - 105 = (a + 39b) - (a + 30b)
18 = a + 39b - a - 30b
18 = 9b
2 = b
Plug this in to one of the equations to find a .
105 = a + 30(2)
105 - 30(2) = a
45 = a

Hectictar: If you got $1 for every question you answered on this forum, you would be a very wealthy young woman !!.
+2440 She would have about 1500 dollars. Hardly wealthy.
However, if we, the members of web2.0calc, had a farthing for every wrong answer you gave, our wealth would exceed all that of the Earth since time immemorial.

Update Statistical counters:
Increment BB error count by 1: BB=(6.0244834478561245 E21) + 1
It seems we are getting richer by the second.
Personally, I’d give it all back, if you would just go away. In fact, I would I’d give it all back and pay continuously compounded interest on it. . . . In perpetuity.
