Question

Henry wants to join a book-of-the-month club. The first club costs $40 to join and $10 per book. The second club costs $15 per book and has no fee to join. How many books would need to be purchased from each club for the clubs to cost the same?

Answer 1

There would have to be 2 books purchased from the first club. Then, there would have to be 4 books purchased from the second club.

Explanation:

1st club. (cost of club) 40$ + (cost of 2 books) 20$ = 60$.

2nd club. (cost of books) 15$ x (how many books) 4 = 60$

Answer 2

Explanation:

For club 1 - 2 book

For club 2 - 4 books

Club 1 has a $40 fee + 2 books = $60 in total

Club 2 has a $0 fee + 4 book = $60 in total

I'm pretty sure I'm right
