Answer 1

The number of DVD's is 6.

Explanation:

Given:

Grace bought a television for $329.

Some DVDs for $5.75 each.

She spent total of $363.50

Now, to find out the number of DVD's Grace bought.

Let the number of DVD's be
`x.`

So, cost of DVD's =
`5.75x`

Cost of television = $329.

Total amount spent = $363.50.

According to question:

Now, putting the equation to solve:

`329+5.75x=363.50`

Subtracting with 329 on both sides we get:

`5.75x=34.50`

Dividing both sides by 5.75 we get:

`x=6.`

Therefore, the number of DVD's is 6.
