Answer 1

15 games.

Explanation:

Here is the complete question: The admission fee to a video game arcade is $1.25 per person, and it costs $0.50 for each game played. Latoya and donnetta have total $10.00 to spend. What is the greatest number of games they will be able to play?

Given: Admission fees= $1.25 per person.

Cost of each game played= $0.50.

Total Money, Latoya and Donnetta have is $10.

First lets find total admission fees both will pay.

∴ Total addmission fees=
`Fees\ per\ person * number\ of\ person`

Total addmission fees=
`\$1.25* 2= \$ 2.50`

Now, money remaining after paying admission fees.

Money remaining =
`Total\ money - Admission\ fees`

∴ Money remaining =
`\$10-\$2.5= \$ 7.5`

∴ Money remained to play video games is $7.5.

Next, finding the maximum number of games, both will be able to play.

As we know, each game will cost $0.50.

Total number of games played=
`(Money\ remaining)/(Cost\ of\ each\ game)`

⇒ Total number of games played=
`(\$ 7.5)/(\$ 0.5) = 15\ games`

∴ 15 games is the maximum number of games they will be able to play.
