A club offers five different levels of membership, each of which requires a membership fee y dollars greater than that of the next lowest level of membership. If the fee required for the lowest level of membership is x dollars, which of the following represents the fee required for the highest level of membership?
(A) x + 4y
(B) x + 5y
(C) 4x + y
(D) 5x + y
(E) 5(x + y)
\(x\) is the lowest level and after \(x\) there are 4 level to upgrade and each costs \(y\) so \(4y\). So total is \(x + 4y\) from lowest to highest.
