Question

You want to go to laser tagging but would like to find out which place has the better deal laser flash charges an initial fee of $16 for gear and $4 per game laser storm charges an initial fee of $20 for gear and $3 per game let x represent the number of games and y represent the cost

Answer 1

The cost at both Laser Flash and Laser storm would be the same after 4 games

Explanation:

Let the number of games be represented as x

Laser flash charges an initial fee of $16 for gear and $4 per game

For Laser flash , the Equation is:

$16 + $4 × x

y= 16 + 4x

Laser storm charges an initial fee of $20 for gear and $3 per game

$20 + $3 × x

y = 20 + 3x

Hence: Equating both costs to each other

Laser flash = Laser Storm

16 + 4x = 20 + 3x

Collect like terms

4x - 3x = 20 - 16

x = 4 games

The cost at both Laser Flash and Laser storm would be the same after 4 games
