Question

jessica rented 1 video game and 3 movies for a total of $11.50 what amout, in dollors,did jessica pay to rent each movie the video game cost $4.75 to rent 

the movies cost the same amount each to rent 

Answer 1

So 1 video game at $4.75 plus 3 movies at $x will equal $11.50.  Now make it an equation.

 

1(4.75) + 3(x) = 11.50

4.75 + 3x = 11.50

3x = 6.75

x = 2.25

 

So each movie was $2.25 to rent.
