Question

ivan pays an $8 monthly service fee so he can rent movies for $1.50 each and games for 3.00 each. Last month, Ivan rented 6 movies and 5 games. Which expression and result show the total amount that Ivan spent last month on his movie and game rentals?

Answer 1

I think 24 dollars without the monthly fee

Answer 2

Expression: 8 + m(1.5) + g(3)

Result: 32

Explanation:

Let m represent the number of movies and g represent the number of games Ivan rent, then total amount he spent is

8 + m(1.5) + g(3)

Since he rented 6 movies and 5 games

→ 8 + 6(1.5) + 5(3)

→ 8 + 9 + 15

→ 32
