Gym Membership (Write an equation to represent a real-world situation)

The video tutorial explains how to write an equation to calculate the total cost of Caroline's gym membership at $15 per month. It introduces the concepts of independent and dependent variables, explores the relationship between the number of months and total cost, and demonstrates how to use the equation Y = 15 * X to find the total cost for a given number of months. The lesson concludes with a practical example of calculating the cost for eight months.

What is the independent variable in the context of Caroline's gym membership?

• The total amount of money spent

• The number of months of membership

• The cost per month

• The gym location

How much does Caroline pay if she is a member for three months?

• $75

• $60

• $30

• $45

What is the correct equation to calculate the total cost of Caroline's gym membership?

• Y = X / 15

• Y = 15 + X

• Y = X + 15

• Y = 15 * X

If Caroline has been a member for eight months, how much has she spent in total?

• $100

• $120

• $130

• $110

What lesson was learned about writing equations for real-world situations?

• Equations are only for mathematical problems.

• Equations are not applicable to real-world scenarios.

• Equations can represent relationships between variables.

• Equations are only useful for gym memberships.
