Question

A movie rental website charges $5.00 per month for membership and $1.25 per movie.Melissa has $18.50 this month to spend on movie rentals.How many movies can she view this month?Tell how u did it or it won't count

Answer 1

She can only but 14 movies because 18.50÷1.25= 14.8 and then 1.25×14=17.5

Answer 2

She can only view 10.  To get this answer, you subtract the $5.00 for membership from the $18.50 of her total amount.  You then get $13.50.  Then, you divide $13.50 (the money she has left) by $1.25 (the amount of money each movie costs).  Your answer is 10.8, but you can't have 10.8 movies, so you have to round down to ten.  She cannot view 11 because she does not have enough money.  Hopefully this helps you!!!
