equal.
personal training sessions to make the total cost at the two gyms

Answer 1

Answer:

5 sessions each

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the personal training sessions be x.

Then at Silver Gym Sarah would spend:

• 35 + 30x

And at Fit Factor she would spend:

• 85 + 20x

Since total costs are same, the amounts will be equal:

• 35+30x = 85 + 20x
• 30x - 20x = 85 - 35
• 10 x = 50
• x= 50/10
• x= 5

So Sarah would buy 5 training sessions for each of the gyms.

And she would spend $185 at each.
