Question

Peter and Jacob are members of different video game libraries. Peter pays a membership fee of $45, and he pays $6 for every video game he rents. The following function shows the total amount of money, y, in dollars, that Jacob pays for renting x number of video games. y=5x+25.

How many more dollars does Peter pay for a membership fee than Jacob.

OPTIONS:
A)$11
B)$20
C)$25
D)$45

Answer 1

B) $20

Explanation:

Given,

The membership fee for peter = $ 45,

Also, the function that represents the total amount of money, y, in dollars, that Jacob pays for renting x number of video games is,

`y=5x+25`

Since, the membership must be free from the variable (x),

Thus, the membership fee for jacob = $ 25,

The difference between the membership of Peter and jacob = $ 45 - $ 25 = $ 20,

Hence, Peter pays $ 20 more membership fee than that of Jacob.

Option 'B' is correct.

Answer 2

in the equation for Jacob the membership fee would be the 25

so if Peter is paying 45, 45-25 = 20

Peter is paying $20 more
