questions...............................
Q2: Mike decides to join a fitness club. The initial signup fee is $100, and the monthly membership fee is $20. If he plans to spend a total of $2020 on the membership, how many years can he stay a member of this club?
Q3: A bat and a ball cost $1.10. The bat costs one dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost??

Question 2:
This problem can be solved using the general formula for a linear function:
dependent variable = initial value + (rate of change × independent variable)
1) First, identify values for each piece of the equation:
Dependent variable = cost of the membership = C = $2020
Initial value = $100
Rate of change = $20 per month
Independent variable = (t) time in months
2) Substitute given values into equation:
2020 = 100 + (20 x t)
3) Isolate t by subtracting 100 from each side of the equation:
2020 - 100 = 100 + (20 x t) - 100
simplified
1920 = 20t
divide both sides by 20
t = 96months
4) Convert months to years:
96 months x (1 year/ 12 months) = 8 years
Mike can spend a total of 8 years as a member with a payment of $2020.
5) Checking my work:
$100 + ($20 x 8 x 12) = $100 + $1920 = $2020

Question #3
A bat and a ball cost $1.10. The bat costs one dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost??
1) First, organize the information into two equations:
$Bat + $ball = $1.10
$Bat = $ball + $1
2) Substitute the cost of the bat with $1 + $ball:
($ball + $1) + $ball = $1.10
3) Simplify equation:
Combine like terms
2$ball + $1 = $1.10
subtract $1 from each side
2$ball = $0.10
divide both sides by 2
$ball = $0.05
4) Checking my work:
Now that we know what the cost off the ball is, we can subtract that from the total
$1.10 - $0.05 = $1.05
$Bat = $1.05
$Bat + $ball = $Total
$1.05 + $0.05 = $1.10
Does $Bat cost $1 more that $ball? Yup. Check. Roger.
Conclusion: The ball costs $0.05.
