Question

you collect $20.92 for selling 4 video games and 2 cellphones on a website. Your friend collects $23.44 for selling 4 video games and 3 cell phones on a website. How much do you collect for each videogame

Answer 1

Let's call the cost of each video game "x". We can set up two equations based on the information given:

4x + 2(0.01) = 20.92 (the 0.01 represents the commission fee for each phone)

4x = 20.92 - 0.02

4x = 20.90

x = 5.225

So each video game costs $5.225.

We can double-check our answer using the information about the friend's sales:

4(5.225) + 3(0.01) = 23.44

20.90 + 0.03 = 23.44

23.44 = 23.44

So our answer is correct.
