Question

Nina wants to download games for her video game console. Older games cost $500 points and new releases cost 2000 points. Nina has 20,000 points to use. The equation 500a+2000b=20,000, where a is the number of older games and b is the number of new releases, models the situation. How many older games can she download if she downloads one new game? Four games?

Answer 1

36 and 24
(20000-2000)/500=36
(20000-8000)/500=24
