a. If we subtract 75 from 550 twice, we get 400, which is the third member to join. Subtract 75 from 400, we get $325, the fourth member to join.

b. It is not possible that a member would join for free if it was a large family. 75 does not fit into 550 evenly. You can prove this by solving the expression 550÷75.

c. The lowest amount that a member would pay to join is $25.00. It would be the 7th member.
