Question

Angle and Kenny play online video games. Angie buys 1 software package and 4 months of game play, Kenny buys 1 software package and 6 months of game play

Each software package costs $25. If their total cost is $190, what is the cost of one month of game play?

Answer 1

it costs $14 for one month of game play

Answer 2

$14

Explanation:

Let the price of 1 month of game play = x.

The price of 1 software package = 25

Angie:

1 software package + 4 months

Since 1 month costs x, 4 months cost 4x.

Angie spent:

25 + 4x

Kenny:

1 software package + 6 months

Since 1 month costs x, 6 months cost 6x.

Kenny spent:

25 + 6x

Combined, Angie and Kenny spent:

25 + 4x + 25 + 6x = 10x + 50

Their total cost was $190, so

10x + 50 = 190

Subtract 50 from both sides.

10x = 140

Divide both sides by 10.

x = 14

Answer: 1 month costs $14
