Question

Josh went to the arcade. He spent $6. 50 on admission and $10. 50 on food. Each arcade game is $1. 50. He has a total of $27. 50. How many arcade games can he play?

Answer 1

Create an equation using x for the number of games

1.50x +(6.50+10.50)=27.50
1.50x + 17 =27.50
1.50x = 10.50
x = 7

Josh will be able to play 7 games
