Question

50 POINTS PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Tanya: $ 2

Tony: $ 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

Number of games that Tanya bought = 3

Cost of each game that Tanya bought = x

Since, the cost for each game is x, the cost for 3 games would be 3x. So we can write:

Total cost of Tanya's items = 3x

Part b)

Number of games that Tony bought = 4

Each game that tony bought was $0.5 less in cost that what Tanya paid for each game. This means,

Cost of each game that Tony bought = x - 0.5

Since, the cost of each game is (x - 0.5), the cost for 4 games would be 4(x - 5). Thus,

Total cost of Tony's items = 4(x - 0.5)

Part c, d and e)

Since, both Tanya and Tony paid the same amount for their purchases, we can write:

Total cost of Tanya's items = Total cost of Tony's items

Using the values from previous parts, we get:

3x = 4(x - 0.5)

3x = 4x - 2

2 = 4x - 3x

x = 2

Since, x represents the cost of each item that Tanya paid, we can conclude that the cost of each game of Tanya was $ 2 and cost of each game of Tony was $ 1.5
