Answer 1

Angie buys 1 software package and 3 months of game play
Kenny buys 1 software package and 4 months of game play
price of each software package = $20
total cost = $117
cost of one month game play = ?
let y is the cost of one month play
Angie buys 3 months game play and paid $20 = 20 + 3y
Kenny buys 4 months game play and paid $20 = 20 + 4y
total cost of both is $117
So the equation becomes,
(20 + 3y) + (20 + 4y) = 117
7y + 40 = 117
7y = 117 - 40
7y = 77
dividing with 7 on both sides, we get
y = 11
so, $11 is the cost of one month game play
