A movie rental company offers a membership plan that costs $10/month and charges $2 to rent each movie.How many movies can a member rent in one month and spend at most $24

Respuesta :

Answer:

7 movies

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

membership cost for 1 month = $10

rent for 1 movie = $2

Maximum money to be spent by a member = $24

Let the no. of movie rented by x

Thus, total rent for x movies = x* rent for 1 movie = x*$2 = $2x

Total spending for 1 month = membership cost for 1 month +  total rent for x        movies

Total spending for 1 month = 10 +2x

Given that he can spend at most $24

Total spending for 1 month <= 24

10 + 2x <= 24

2x <= 24-10

2x <= 14

x <= 14/2

x <= 7

Thus, movies rented can be less than or equal to 7.

since we have to find the maximum movies rented in 23, it will be 7

Thus, at most 7 movies can be rented.
