Question

A new arcade opened up in town. A play package is available to purchase. It includes 15 tokens for games,plus 5 dollars off. Let x represent the cost per token

Answer 1

The total cost of the games (play package)

= 15x - 5

Explanation:

Number of tokens in the games = 15

The cost per token = x

Discount off the total cost = $5

Therefore, the cost of the play package = 15x - 5

where x is in dollars

However, ‘x’ can also assume any value.

Check:

If x = $15

The total cost of the game can be said to be 15(10) - 5 = $220
