Question

One month Mai rented

6 movies and 2 video games for a total of
$36. The next month she rented 3
movies and 5 video games for a total of $39. Find the rental cost for each movie and each video game.

Answer 1

The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:
x = rental cost of movies
y = rental cost of video games
We write the system of equations:
6x + 2y = 36
3x + 5y = 39
Resolving we have:
x = 4.25 $
y = 5.25 $
Answer:
The rental cost for each movie and each video game is:
movies = 4.25 $
video games = 5.25 $
