Question

A local store buys used video games. For each game bought, they will pay $18 less than the original price paid for the game. Which expressions represent the total amount Jordan will receive if he sells “n” games that originally cost “d” dollars each? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

correct answers are n(d-18) and dn - 18n

Answer 2

B.
`n(d-18)`

D.
`dn-18n`

Explanation:

Let d represent the original price paid for the game.

We have been given that a local buys used video games. For each game bought, they will pay $18 less than the original price paid for the game.

The price of used video game would be original price minus 18. We can represent this information in an expression as:

`d-18`

We have been given that Jordan sold n games, so the cost of n used games would be
`n(d-18)`.

Using distributive property we will get,

`n(d-18)=dn-18n`

Therefore, option B and D are correct choices.
