Answer 1

Deandre spent $36.50 on video games and DVD rentals in the past month.

Explanation:

values

video game = $3.20

DVD = $4.90

let video games be represented with the variable v

dvd represented by the variable d

make an equation

7d + 1v = ?

plug in values

7(4.90) + 1(3.20) = ?

7 x 4.90 = 34.3

1 x 3.20 = 3.20

34.3 + 3.20 = 36.50

thus 7d + 1v = $36.50
