You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a few of $11.00 plus a monthly fee of $24.00. Club B offers membership for a few of $27.00 plus a monthly fee of $16.00. After how many months will the total cost of each health club be the same?

Let

x ----> the number of months

y ----> the total cost

so

Club A

y=24x+11

Club B

y=16x+27

Equate both equations

24x+11=16x+27

solve for x

24x-16=27-11

12x=16

x=1.33 months
