As the new manager of a local fitness club, Gifted & Lifted, you have been studying

the clubs financial data. You would like to determine how the clubs costs behave in

order to make accurate predictions for next year. Here is the information from the

last six months:

Month	Club enrollment (# of members)	Total operating costs	Operating Costs per member
July	450	$8,900	$19.78
August	480	$9,800	$20.42
September	500	$10,100	$20.20
October	550	$10,150	$18.45
November	560	$10,500	$18.75
December	525	$10,200	$19.43

1-By looking at the Total Operating Costs and the Operating Costs per Member, can you tell whether the clubs operating costs are variable, fixed, or mixed? Explain your answer

2- List 10 costs the club might have and be sure to label them fixed or variable

3-Use high-low method to determine the clubs monthly operating cost equation.

4-Using the answer from number 3, predict the total monthly operating costs if the club has 800 members. What if instead you have 390 members? 1,000 members?

5-Can you predict total monthly operating costs if the club has 3,000 members? Explain your answer
