Question

One month Abdul rented 3 movies and 5 video games for a total of . The next month he rented 6 movies and 2 video games for a total of $18 . Find the rental cost for each movie and each video game.

Answer 1

Video Games = $5.25

Movies = $1.25

Explanation:

(3x + 5y = 30)2

6x + 2y = 18

Video Games (y) = 5.25

6x + 10y = 60

- 6x + 2y = 18

(8y)/8 = (42)/8

6x + 2(5.25) = 18

6x + 10.5 = 18

6x = 7.5

x = 1.25
