Question

A game store charges a monthly membership fee of $7.50, but then the charge to rent a game is only $1.00. Another store has no membership fee, but that store charges $2.00 to rent a game. How many games need to be rented each month for the total fees to be the same from either store?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Monthly membership fee of store 1 is $7.5, but then the charge to rent a game is only $1.00

Another store has no membership fee, but that store charges $2.00 to rent a game.

Let there be n games needed to be rented each month for the total fees to be the same from either store.

Cost of first store = $7.50+$1.00n

Cost of another store = $2.00

If cost equals,

$7.50+$1.00n=$2

n=5.5 $\approx$ 6

Hence, 6 games needed to be rented each month.
