SOLUTION

Registration fee for the gym is $20

Monthy charges = $26 per month

If a total of $540 has been made, that means the person paid

[tex]\begin{gathered} 540\text{ dollars - 20 dollars registration fe}e\text{ } \\ 520\text{ dollars for some months } \end{gathered}[/tex]

Number of months spent becomes

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{520\text{ dollars }}{26\text{ dollars per month }} \\ =\frac{520}{26} \\ =20\text{ months } \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the answer is 20 months.
