Answer:

Tim purchased 6 video games.

Explanation:

Let's set the number of games Time purchased as x.

Due to each game costing $25, the total amount of money used on buying games would be ($25)x.

Hence, as the total amount of money used to buy both the console and the video games would be $350, the equation can be set as:


\$25x + \$200 = \$350


\$25x = \$(350 - 200)


x = (\$150)/(\$25)


x = 6

Therefore, Tim purchased 6 video games.

Hope this helped!

Because 25x6=150 and he spent 200 on the console and he spent 350 total so your answer is $150
