What is a constant?

A constant is something that doesn't change overtime; a steady flow that has a fixed value in a given situation.

First, we would need to see how much the gym charges each month for a membership, based on the amount he pays every year.

If we know that a year has 12 months, and every year he pays $252, we can use an equation that looks like this:

252 ÷ 12 = 21

The gym charges $21 every month for a membership.

Given, if m = months, and c = total amount he paid, the equation would look like this:

21 × m = c

Therefore, an equation you can use to figure out how much he pays in (m) months is 21 × m = c.
