Question

An arcade charges $1.25 per game, plus an admission fee of $5. If Jason spent $15 at the arcade, how many games, x, did Jason play?

Answer 1

Answer: jason played 8 games at the arcade.

Explanation:

The total amount spent by Jason is given as $15.

So we can write the equation: 1.25x + 5 = 15.

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to get: 1.25x = 10.

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 1.25: x = 8.

Therefore, Jason played 8 games at the arcade.
