Question

The video store just increased the price of renting a game by 1.25. Write a formula that will help Seth determine how much he'll spend at the video game store after the price increase. Let's let p = old price of a video game, n = number of games Seth rents & t = total amount Seth pays.

Answer 1

First you would need to add the amount of the increase to the old price , so that would be p +1.25.

Then to find the total amount he will spend, you need to multiply the total price by the number of games he buys.

The equation becomes:

t = n(p+1.25)
