Question

Joey has $254 to spend at the video game store. He was able to buy 9 video games and had $29 left. How much did each game cost? (Please help :()

Answer 1

If he had $254 to spend, and at the end (after spending) he was left with $29, then that means he spent $225 on video games. That's because we're taking away what he has now from what he had originally to spend, which leaves us with how much he spent on games in total.

So, if we know that he spent $225 on 9 video games, we can work out how much each game costs by dividing the amount he spent ($225) by the number of games (9) to give us the final answer:

$225 ÷ 9 = $25

He spent $25 on each game. Hope that helped! :)

Answer 2

Answer: $25


First we figure out how
much money Joey spent:
254 - 29 = 225

now we divide that by 9
225 / 9 = 25
