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
You need to put everything to one side and equal to 120. Then you combine all like terms.
then you subtract 24 with 120. You get 94/24=4
10x+6x+16+8x+8=120
24x+24=120
-24 -24
____________
24x=96
/24 /24
X=4
The word "is" in this kind of problem typically means "=", so we know that something =-8. Since we're finding the number, we should start with the closest thing in the phrase given to that number. In this case, it's 3/4x. Finally, since we have the "14 less than", we need to add that in. Your answer is:
3/4x-14=-8. Now we can just solve!
+14 +14
3/4x=6.
*4/3 *4/3
x=8.
