Question

The fun guys game rental store charges an annual fee of $5 plus $6.50 per game rented. The game bank charges an annual fee of $17 plus $3.50 per game. For how many games rentals will the cost be the same at both stores? What is that cost?

Answer 1

A. 4 games

B. $31

Explanation:

Fun guys game rental store:

5 + 6.50x

Game bank:

17 + 3.50x

Where,

x = number of games

For how many games rentals will the cost be the same at both stores?

Equate the charges of both stores

5 + 6.50x = 17 + 3.50x

5 - 17 = 3.50x - 6.50x

12 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

x = 12/3

= 4

x = 4 games

What is that cost?

Game bank:

17 + 3.50x

= 17 + 3.50(4)

= 17 + 14

= $31
