Question

A video store charges $12 for used games and $25 for new games. Jonathan has saved $300 to spend on video games. x = number of used games y = number of new games Which linear equation, written in standard form, expresses the scenario? x + y = 300 12x + 25y = 300 25x + 12y = 300 2x + 5y = 15

Answer 1

12x+25y=300

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:
`12x+25y=300`

Explanation:

Let x denotes the number of used games and y denotes the number of new games .

Given statement : A video store charges $12 for used games and $25 for new games.

Total cost of x used games :
`12x`

Total cost of y new games :
`25y`

Jonathan has saved $300 to spend on video games.

`\Rightarrow\ 12x+25y=300`

Hence, the linear equation, written in standard form, expresses the scenario :-

`12x+25y=300`
