Answer:

24 video games

Explanation:

Let x represent number of video games.
We have been given that a video game store allows customers to rent games for $4.75 each. So the cost of renting x video games would be 4.75x.

We are also told that customers can also buys a membership for $54 annually, and video games would only cost $2.50 each. The cost of renting x video games after membership would be 2.50x + 54

To find the number of video-games that will cost same for both options, we will equate both expressions as:

4.75x = 2.50x + 54
4.75x - 2.50x = 2.50x - 2.50x + 54


Therefore, a customer would have rent 24 video games in a year in order for the two options to be equal.
