Question

Jim paid a gym membership fee of $50, plus $20 per month. Jim has paid a total of $290 to thegym. Which equation matches this situation?​

Answer 1

50 + 20m = 290

Explanation:

The answer is 50 + 20m = 290, because Jim paid a membership fee that was $50. Then each month he paid $20 because of his new membership. Jim never paid $50 a month, that was only his starter fee, but then gradually paid $20 every month so it would be 20m. Hope this helped.
