Question

Savant bought video games for holiday gifts. Each video game was $49.99 and he paid $7.50 for shipping. If his total bill was $157.47, how many video games did he buy

Answer 1

To find out how many video games Savant bought, we can set up an equation:

Total cost = (Cost per video game * Number of video games) + Shipping cost

$157.47 = ($49.99 * Number of video games) + $7.50

Now, let's solve for the number of video games:

$157.47 - $7.50 = $49.99 * Number of video games

$149.97 = $49.99 * Number of video games

Now, divide both sides by $49.99 to find the number of video games:

Number of video games = $149.97 / $49.99

Number of video games ≈ 3

So, Savant bought approximately 3 video games
