Question

A video rental company offers a plan that includes a membership fee of $5 and charges $1 for every DVD borrowed. They also offer a second plan, that costs $25 per month for unlimited DVD rentals. If a customer borrows enough DVDs in a month, the two plans cost the same amount. What is that total cost of either plan? Write a system of equations, graph them, and type the solution._____ dollars

Answer 1

They offer two plans.

Plan A.

The membership fee of $5, and $1 for every DVD.

This can be expressed as

`y=1\cdot x+5`

Where x represents DVDs.

Plan B.

A monthly cost of $25 for unlimited DVD rentals.

This can be expressed as

`y=25`

Because the second plan B doesn't depend on the number of DVDs.

The image below shows the graph.

As you can observe in the image above, they have a total cost of $25 when they rent 20 DVDs.
