Question

Elijah goes to a local festival. Admission is $4.00. It costs $0.50 to play each game. If Elijah has $18.00 to spend, what is the maximum

number of games he can play?

Answer 1

Answer: 28

Explanation:

To answer, we must first create an equation.

Let x = # of games he can play

4 + 0.50x = 18

Now we solve

4 + 0.50x = 18

-4 -4

--------------------

0.50x = 14

divide each side by 0.50

x = 28

So, the maximum number of games Elijah can play is 28
