Answer:

5 video games.

Explanation:

In order to find the total number of video games that Tracy can buy with the money, she has we first need to find how much money she has left after buying the clothes. To do this we subtract the amount she spent on clothes by the initial total that Christina had.

120 - 68 = 52

Now that we know Christina has a remaining $52, we can divide this amount by the value of each individual game ($10) in order to calculate how many she can actually afford.

52 / 10 = 5.2

Finally, we can see that she can afford to only buy 5 video games.
