Question

CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME THE ANSWER QUICK !!!

James has spent $12.50 of his $25 video store gift card. He plans on using the remaining balance to rent video games. If the games cost $4.25 each to rent, how many games can he rent?(5 Points)

Answer 1

He can only rent 2 games.

Explanation:

25 - 12.5 = 12.5

4.25 x 2 = 8.5

12.5 - 8.5 = 4

4 - 4.25 = -0.25

In conclusion, he can only rent 2 games. If he buys an extra one, he will have negative balance.

Answer 2

2 games

Explanation:

Subtract $12.50 from $25 which leaves James with $12.50

Divide 12.50 by 4.25 which is about 2.94

Since he can't rent 0.94 of a game, we have to round our answer down to 2
