Question

Donna receives a $100 gift card to MovieStop. Her Blu-ray player is able to play both Blu-rays and DVDS, so she would like to get a combination of both. Each Blu-ray cost $25.99 and DVDs cost $15.99 each. Write an equation modeling the number of Blu-rays, ​b​, and DVDs​, d,​ that Donna can purchase with her gift card.

Answer 1

100=25.99b+15.99d

Explanation:

step one:

let the number of Blu-rays be b and

DVDS be d,

step two:

given that Blu-rays cost $25.99each and

DVDS cost $15.99 each,

we can model the cost of the Blu-rays and DVDS, as

100=25.99b+15.99d

hence the expression for the number of Blu-rays and DVDS, is given as

100=25.99b+15.99d
