Answer 2

Answer: Jason can rent 3 movies.

Explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

• Monday: 11.5 pounds of can

• Tuesday: 10.7 pounds of cans

We have to sum both quantities to obtain the total pounds.

• 11.5 + 10.7 = 22.2 pounds of cans (total)

Now, we have to multiply the result by the price of each pound ($0.40)

• 22.2 x 0.40 = $8.88 (total earnings)

Finally, we divide the earnings by the price of each movie to obtain the number of movies.

• $8.88 / $2.69 = 3

Jason can rent 3 movies.
