Question

Redbox has two video rental plans. The standard plan charges $3.25 for each video rental. The premium video rental has an $8.75 membership fee and charges $2 per rental. At how many rentals do the plans cost the same?

Answer 1

Your answer is 7 rentals, at the cost of $22.75.

Explanation:

First, let's make an equation

`y =` total cost while
`x=` amount of rentals

`y = 3.25x`

`y = 2x + 8.75`

After graphing the two, we find that they intersect and 7, 22.75

Hence, the answer is 7 rentals, at the cost of $22.75
