Question

One month Alan rented 5 movies and 3 video games for a total of $27. The next month he rented 2 movies and 6 video games for a total of $36. Find the rental cost for each movie and each video game.

Answer 1

5M + 3V = 27

10M + 6V =54

2M + 6V = 36

8M = 18

M = 18/8 = 9/4 = $2.25 per movie

6V =36-2M = 36-4.5 = 31.5

V = 31.5./6 = $5.25 per video
