Alorah joins a fitness center. She pays for a year plus a joining fee of $35. If the cost for the entire year is $299, how much will she pay each month?

We set up the cost function C(m) where m is the number of months of membership:
C(m) = cost per month * m + joining fee

Plugging in our numbers from the problem with 12 months in a year, we get:
12c + 35 = 299

To solve this equation for c, we type it in our search engine and we get:
c = 22
