Jessica rented 1 video game and 3 movies for a total of $11.50.

• The video game cost $4.75 to rent.
• The movies cost the same amount each to rent.
What amount, in dollars, did Jessica pay to rent each movie?

Answer 1

$2.25

Explanation:

11.50 - 4.75 (gives you the total amount of MOVIES rented)

it's equal to 6.75 and divide that by 3 makes 2.25

Answer 2

1 video game = 4.75

1 movie = x

4.75 + 3x = 11.50

-4.75 -4.75

______________

3x = 6.75

(3x = 6.75) ÷ 3

x = 2.25

Jessica paid $2.25 for each movie she rented.
