Question

A local store charges $8 to rent a video game. You must be a member to

rent from the store, but the membership is free. Another local store, charges $3 to rent a video game, but the membership in the club is $50 a year.

Find the number of rentals for which the two plans would cost the same.

Answer 1

10 rentals

Explanation:

One store: $8 per rental + $0 for membership fee

Other store: $3 per rental + $50 for membership fee

Let x = number of rentals.

8x = 3x + 50

5x = 50

x = 10

Answer: 10 rentals

Answer 2

10 would be the answer because you would do the equation of “8x = 3x + 50”
