Question

In the past month, Dan rented 3 video games and 5 DVDs. The rental price for each video game was $3.20. The rental price for each DVD was $5.10. What is

the total amount that Dan spent on video game and DVD rentals in the past month?

Answer 1

$35.10

Explanation:

3.20(3)=9.6

5.10(5)=25.5

25.5+9.6=35.1

Answer 2

$35.10

Explanation:

in order to find the answer, you need to set up an equation. The equation we will use will be

y=3.20v + 5.10d

y being the total amount of money spent and v being the amount of video games rented and d being the amount of DVDs being rented. You then would substitute the correct value in the correct place, so the equation would then look like :

y= 3.20(3) + 5.10(5)

which you would then simplify to

y=9.60 + 25.50

which would then be :

y= 35.1

]So Dan spent $35.10
