Question

Latest Releases Depot rents DVD/Blue ray for $3.00 each and has no membership fee. Video for You rents DVD/Blue rays for $2 each but has a membership fee of $15.

Answer 1

15 rentals

Explanation:

Latest Releases Depot

rent = $3 per DVD

membership= free

let the number of DVD be x

let the expression for the total be

y= 3x----------------1

Video for You

rent= $2 per DVD

membership= $15

let the number of DVD be x

let the expression for the total be

y= 15+2x----------------2

equate 1 and 2

3x=15+2x

collect like terms

3x-2x=15

x= 15

Hence the number of DVDs needed for the two rentals to have the same amount is at least 15 rentals
