One month Nicole rented 12 movies and 2 video games for a total of 53. The next month she rented 3 movies and 5 video games for a total of 38.

Answer 1

12M + 2V = 53

3M + 5V = 38 multiply by 4

12M +20V =152

12M + 2V= 53 subtract to get

18V = 99

2V = 11

V =11/2 = $5.50 per video

3M=38-5V = 38-55/2 =21/2

M = 7/2 = $3.50 per movie
