Question

In the past month, Josh rented 6 video games and 4 DVDs. The rental price for each video game was $2.60. The rental price for each DVD was $3.80. What is the total amount that Josh spent on video game and DVD rentals in the past month?

Answer 1

$30.80

Explanation:

v = the price of each video game = 2.6

d = the price of each DVD = 3.8

x = the total amount Josh spent

6v + 4d = x

Substitute the values for v and d into the equation.

6 (2.6) + 4 (3.8) = x

15.6 + 15.2 = 30.8

Josh spent $30.80 on video game and DVD rentals in the past month.
