Question

Juan pays $52.35 a month for his cable bill and an additional $1.99 for each streamed movie. If his last cable bill was $68.27, how many movies did Juan watch? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

To find the amount he spent in total on movies we need to do $68.27-$52.35=$15.92
Now to find the amount of movies we need to do $15.92/$1.99=8 movies

Answer 2

68.27 - last bill
1.99 - cost of each movie
52.35 - month subscription
We have to different month bill from 68.27
68.27-52.35=15.92
Now we can divide 15.92 by 1.99 to find number of streamed movies.
15.92:1.99=8
8 is the result
