Answer 1

Explanation:

video store A : 15 + 1.75m

video store B : 7.5 + 2.25m

15 + 1.75m = 7.5 + 2.25m

15 - 7.5 = 2.25m - 1.75m

7.5 = 0.50m

7.5 / 0.50 = m

15 = m <=== there would have to be 15 movie rentals to make them equal

check...

15 + 1.75m 7.50 + 2.25m

15 + 1.75(15) = 7.50 + 2.25(15) =

41.25 41.25

yep...it checks out
