Applications Group Problem

The document outlines a group problem where members must choose between two gym membership options. Option 1 is Joseph's Super Gym, which charges a $40 signup fee and $25 monthly. Option 2 is Melchor's Muscle Madness, which charges a $30 signup fee and $30 monthly. The group must create a table comparing the options, make a graph displaying costs over time, calculate the slopes, determine the cost formulas, and answer questions about which option is better for different membership lengths. They determine the crossover point is at 2 months, where the total cost is equal for both gyms.
