On Monday and Tuesday, Jason sold 22,6 pounds of cans, so he made s=22,5 x 0.40=9
That means that Jason can rent 9/2.96 ≈3 movies

Answer:

He can rent 3 movies

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that Jason wants to use his earnings from Monday and Tuesday for online movie rentals. movies cost $2.96 each to it.

On Monday he sold 11.9 pounds of cans in on Tuesday he sold 10.7 pounds of cans.

Total pounds of cans he sold is:

11.9 + 10.7 = 22.6 pounds

He sold 22.6 pounds of can.

1 pound of can equals 0.40

Thus the total amount is:

22.6 × 0.40 = 9.04

So, total earning of two days is $9.04

The movies cost is $2.96 each.

The total movies Jason can rent is:


Movies=(9.04)/(2.96)


Movies=3.05 approximately

Hence, he can rent 3 movies
