McKenna attended 12 Pilates class this month. She was charges $52 for her monthly membership and the 12 classes.

Is $52 the correct amount to be charged? Explain. Use an inequality or equation to solve the problem.

No, it is not the correct amount to be charged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given, the monthly gym membership = $16 and charges for Pilates class = $12. So charges for 12 classes = 2 * 12 = $24 Step 2: Calculate total charges for one month.

Total charges = Gym membership + Pilates classes = 16 + 24 = $40

⇒ So the $52 is an incorrect amount.
