Answer: The cost of each game is $2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find the equations for each friend:
Friend 1:
Pays $3 for the shoes, and plays 3 games, then if X is the cost of each game, Friend 1 pays a total of:
$3 + 3*X
Friend 2:
This friend buys a soda for $0.50, and he plays 4 games, remember that the cost of each game was X. then this friend pays:
$0.50 + 4*X
And we know that both friends pay the exact same amount, then we can write:
$3 + 3*X = $0.50 + 4*X
And solve this for X.
We need to isolate X, then we can move all the terms with X to the right, and all the terms without X to the left:
$3 - $0.50 = 4*X - 3*X
$2.50 = (4 - 3)*X = X
This means the cost of each game is $2.50
70% equals to 70/100 in fraction form.
But, you need to write it in simplest form. so, divide both of them from 10 'cause they both can divide completely by it.
70/100 = 7/10
so, your answer is 7/10
Easy, showing work,
using the method FOIL (First,Outer,Inner, Last)
Take, (x+3)(x+5) and multiply,
First,
x*x=

Outer,
x*5=5x
Inner,
3*x=3x
Last,
3*5=15
Add the terms together,

+8x+15 (

+5x+3x+15)
Thus, your answer.
