A playstation 5 is $900 and costs $50 per game. A xbox is $400 and costs $60 per game. How many games will it take for both consoles to be the same price?

Answer:

It would take a PlayStation 5 and 2 games to equal an Xbox and 10 games.

Explanation:

I made a list that increase in the increments of the game price.

Something like this:

900—400~consoles alone

950—460~1 game

1000–520~2 games

1050—580~3 games

1100—640~4 games

1150—700~5 games

1200—760~6 games

1250—820~7 games

1300—880~8 games

1350—940~9 games

1400—1000~10 games

Left side is PlayStation 5 and right side is Xbox. The first row is the price of the consoles alone and then each row after that is the price of the console with an additional game. As you can see, the third row down on the left, the PlayStation 5 with 2 games is $1,000. If you look at the eleventh row on the right, you can see that Xbox with 10 games is also $1,000
