Question

Joseph just changed his cable television plan to include on-demand movies for $2.95 each. the charge for the basic cable package is $24.95 per month. if his bill one month was $39.70,how many on-demand movies did he watch?

Answer 1

Total Bill: $39.70

You have to subtract the price for the basic cable package:
$39.70- $24.95= $14.75

That means that he spent $14.75 on movies this month.
If each movie costs $2.95, and he spent $14.75 on movies, then:
$14.75/$2.95= 5 movies

So he watched 5 movies!
