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
Answer:
365 messages
Step-by-step explanation:
x = # text messages)
16.5 = 10 + .10(x - 300)
6.5 = .10x - 30
36.5 = .10x
x = 365
The three slices are each approximately 1/9 pound in weight, and, since 2/9 is less than 1/4, he can eat 2 whole slices and be okay. If he wants to eat partial slices, then he could eat 2 1/4 slices, as each slice weighs 4/36 pounds, so 2 slices would equal 8/36 pounds, leaving 1/36 pound left over in his diet, which is a quarter of the third slice.
