Question

Redbox is running a one day special giving the customer 50 cents off per game. Mikes sister wants to rent 1 dvd and some games. If she has 8.45 to spend at redbox how many games may she rent

Answer 1

12 games costing $6

Explanation:

Since the rate of DVD or a Game is not mentioned, we will be taking an arbitrary value.

1 DVD cost = $2

1 game cost = $1

Cost of game after discount = 1 - 0.5 = $0.5

Mike's sister has a budget of $8.45 but she also has to buy a DVD, so :

8.45 - 2 = $ 6.45

She can spend $ 6.45 on the games.

As each game costs $ 0.5 or 50 cents after discount, she can buy maximum of 12 games as :

`(6.45)/(0.5)` = 12.9

She can get 12 games

she will be left with 45 cents spare as:

12 x 0.5 = 6
