A movie rental website charges $5.00 per month for membership and $1.25 per movie.

Marissa has $28.50 this month to spend on movie rentals.
How many movies can she view this month?
She can view
18
movies this month.
Marissa thinks she can afford 19 movies in one month. What mistake could she be making?
She could be rounding "blank" up to 19, but she doesn't have enough money for 19 movies.
