Question

Marcus rented a movie 4 dollars and some video games 6 dollars each he paid 22 dollars how many games did he rent ?

Answer 1

Marcus rented 3 video games.

Explanation:

Marcus rented a movie for 4 dollars and few games for 6 dollars each and total amount he paid was 22 dollars.In this question we will assume the number of video games then form the equation.

Let us assume the number of video games be x.

Then the rent Marcus paid for video games = 6x

Now total amount he paid = rent of movie + rent of video games = 22 dollars

⇒ 4 + 6x = 22

⇒ 6x = 22-4

⇒ 6x = 18

⇒ x =18÷6 = 3

So the answer will be 3 video games he rented.

Answer 2

Marcus rented 3 video games.

Explanation:

Let "x" be the number of games he rented.

The equation is 4 + 6x = 22

Solve the equation.

4 + 6x = 22

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.

6x = 18

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 3

Marcus rented 3 video games.

Hope you will understand the concept.
