Question

help me please and explain if possible?

Angie and Kenny play online video games. Angie buys 1 software packages and 2 months of gameplay. Kenny buys 2 software packages and 5 months of gameplay. Each software package costs ​$35. If their total cost is ​$203​, what is the cost of one month of gameplay?

Answer 1

let x = months

so we know that price of software package is $20
Now we need to find x the price of one month

we know that Angie and Kenny spent 115 total

Angie: 20 + 3x ( one software pack + 3(price of one month)
Kenny: 20+ 2x ( one software pack + 2( price of one month)

So Angie + Kenny = $ 115

20 + 3y + 20 + 2y = 115

combine like terms and solve for x. That will give you the cost of one month

40 + 5x = 115
-40 -40

5x= 75
5x/5 = 75/5

x=15
