Question

Steven goes to a game store. He purchases a new game system for $120, which includes a game console and 2 remotes. He pays $82 for the game console and saw that the 2 remotes are equally priced. How much do each of the remotes cost? Show all of your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

Each remote is $19

Step-by-step explanation:

total price paid = console price + 2* remote price

substitute what we know

120 = 82 + 2 R               where R = remote price

subtract 82 from each side

120-82 = 82+2R -82

38=2R

divide each side by 2

38/2 =2R/2

19 =R

Each remote is $19
