Question

4. A local DVD rental machine

rents movies out to customers for
$5.75 per movie. A digital movie
company allows you to rent movies
for $3.25 but requires a
membership fee of $40. How many
movie rentals will it take for both
options to be the same price?

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

create equations for each and set them equal to each other.

5.75x = 3.25x + 40

Solve for x

2.5x = 40

x = 16
