Answer:
$1 per movie
$5.50 per video game
Explanation:
We know 5 movies and 2 video games cost $16 and 3 movies and 8 video games cost $47.
Let x be the cost of 1 movie and y be the cost of a video game.
5x + 2y = 16
3x + 8y = 47
In the first equation, lets solve for y
2y = 16 - 5x
y = 8 - 2.5x
Now, we can substitute this into the other equation.
3x + 8(8 - 2.5x) = 47
3x + 64 - 20x = 47
-17 x = - 17
x = 1
So a movie costs $1 to rent.
2y = 16 - 5(1)
2y = 11
y = 5.5
A video game costs $5.50 to rent.
