Answer:

4 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of games played in order to cost the same amount

At one location, they can pay $2.00 for rentals plus $7.50 per game.

So, Total cost at this location for x games = 2+7.5x

At another location, it would cost $8.00 for rentals and $6.00 per game

So, Total cost at this location for x games = 8+6x

Since we know that the cost of playing x games will be same

So, [tex]2+7.5x=8+6x[/tex]

[tex]7.5x-6x=8-2[/tex]

[tex]1.5x=6[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{6}{1.5}[/tex]

[tex]x=4[/tex]

Hence they play 4 games in order to cost the same amount
