Find the rental cost for each movie and each video game
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
m = the rental cost per movie, m>=0
v = the rental cost per video game, v>=0
8 movies and 3 video games altogether cost $27:
8m + 3v = 27
2 movies and 5 video games altogether cost $28:
2m + 5v = 28
We have the following system of equations:
8m + 3v = 27
2m + 5v = 28

........
m = $1.5
v = $5
The rental cost per movie is $1.50.
The rental cost per video game is $5.
