Answer:
4 6/11 games
Step-by-step explanation:
Let g represent the number of games that makes non-member cost equal to member cost. Non-member cost of renting g games is 8g. Member cost is 25+2.50g. These are equal when ...
8g = 25 +2.50g
5.50g = 25
g = 25/5.50 = 50/11 = 4 6/11
The cost is the same when the number of games rented is 4 6/11.
_____
There is no integer number of games that can be rented to make the costs be the same.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose GameStop charges nonmembers $8 to rent each game.
A non member plays x number of games. The cost of x number of games is 8 × x = $8x
A store membership costs $25 and members pay only $2.50 to rent each game. A member plays y number of games for 2.5×y + fixed cost(membership cost) of $25
y number of games cost 2.5y +25
Since we are looking for the same number of games,y = x
8x = 2.5x +25
8x - 2.5x = 25
5.5x =25
x = 25/5.5 = 4.54
Approximately 5 games
