Question

A cable company offers two movie plans. One plan costs $129 per month plus $5 per movie. The other plan costs $150 per month for unlimited movies. How many movies must Maggie rent in order for the plans to cost the same amount ?

Answer 1

Answer:
You can’t make it the same, but you can make it almost the same.

Maggie would have to rent 4 movies to make the plans’ cost almost the same.

Explanation:
$150-$129= 21
21 divided by 5= 4.2 (You can’t rent 4.2 movies, so we go with 4)
4x5=20+$129= $149 (Almost $150)

So, Maggie would have to rent 4 movies to make the costs almost the same.

Hope this is helpful!!
P.S Sorry if there was another way to make the costs equal, I’m not the best at math!
