Question

A movie rental website charges $5.00 per month for membership and $1.25 per movie. Marisa has $18.50 she can spend on movies.She thinks she is able to rent 11 movies.What is her mistake?

Answer 1

She doesn't have enough money to buy 11 movies.

Explanation:

18.50=5.00+1.25x

If x = 11 then $1.25 multiplied by 11 is $13.75 plus the $5.00 per month would then be 18.75

She is 25 cents off so she can't rent 11 movies, it would have to be 10 movies.
