Question

Samuel rents video games from a store near his house. Renting v video games for a week costs 2.5v dollars. Last week, Samuel rented 5 video games. How much did Samuel pay for his video game rentals?

Answer 1

First, start by setting up an equation.
V will be the number of video games, and P will be the price of the games.
So, 2.5V = P
Then, since we know that V = 5, since he rented 5 games:
2.5(5) = P
12.5 = P
Samuel payed $12.50 for his game rentals last week.

Answer 2

Samuel paid 12.5 dollars for his video game rentals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel rented 5 video games from the store. The cost of renting v video games for a week is 2.5v dollars. To find out how much Samuel paid for his video game rentals, we need to substitute v with 5 in the equation.

Therefore, the amount Samuel paid for his video game rentals is 2.5 * 5 = 12.5 dollars.
