Answer:
Monthly charges = $70
Intuition charges = $2710
Step-by-step explanation:
There is intuition fee and per month fee for joining the Pine River country club.
Total cost for 7 months is $3200
Total cost for one and a half years is $3970
one and a half years means 18 months.
To find:
Intuition fee and monthly dues?
Solution:
Let the intuition fee = [tex]i[/tex]
Let the monthly dues = [tex]m[/tex]
Total cost for 7 months can be represented as
[tex]i+7m = 3200[/tex] ..... (1)
Total cost for 18 months can be represented as
[tex]i+18m = 3970 .... (2)[/tex]
Here, we have 2 equations and 2 variables whose values are to be found.
Let us use elimination method to solve the equations.
Subtracting equation (1) from (2):
[tex]11m = 770\\\Rightarrow m = 70[/tex]
Therefore, the monthly dues are $70.
Using equation (1), we can find the value of [tex]i[/tex].
[tex]i + 70\times 7 = 3200\\\Rightarrow i = 3200 - 490\\\Rightarrow i = \$2710[/tex]
Therefore, intuition charges are $2710.
