Answer 1

Answer:

15 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: The admission fee to a video game arcade is $1.25 per person, and it costs $0.50 for each game played. Latoya and donnetta have total $10.00 to spend. What is the greatest number of games they will be able to play?

Given: Admission fees= $1.25 per person.

           Cost of each game played= $0.50.

           Total Money, Latoya and Donnetta have is $10.

First lets find total admission fees both will pay.

∴ Total addmission fees= $Fees\ per\ person \times number\ of\ person$

Total addmission fees= $\ 1.25\times 2= \ 2.50$

Now, money remaining after paying admission fees.

Money remaining = $Total\ money - Admission\ fees$

∴ Money remaining = $\ 10-\ 2.5= \ 7.5$

∴ Money remained to play video games is $7.5.

Next, finding the maximum number of games, both will be able to play.

As we know, each game will cost $0.50.

Total number of games played= $\frac{Money\ remaining}{Cost\ of\ each\ game}$

⇒ Total number of games played=$\frac{\ 7.5}{\ 0.5} = 15\ games$

∴ 15 games is the maximum number of games they will be able to play.
