Answer:
15 games.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question: The admission fee to a video game arcade is $1.25 per person, and it costs $0.50 for each game played. Latoya and donnetta have total $10.00 to spend. What is the greatest number of games they will be able to play?
Given: Admission fees= $1.25 per person.
Cost of each game played= $0.50.
Total Money, Latoya and Donnetta have is $10.
First lets find total admission fees both will pay.
∴ Total addmission fees= [tex]Fees\ per\ person \times number\ of\ person[/tex]
Total addmission fees= [tex]\$1.25\times 2= \$ 2.50[/tex]
Now, money remaining after paying admission fees.
Money remaining = [tex]Total\ money - Admission\ fees[/tex]
∴ Money remaining = [tex]\$10-\$2.5= \$ 7.5[/tex]
∴ Money remained to play video games is $7.5.
Next, finding the maximum number of games, both will be able to play.
As we know, each game will cost $0.50.
Total number of games played= [tex]\frac{Money\ remaining}{Cost\ of\ each\ game}[/tex]
⇒ Total number of games played=[tex]\frac{\$ 7.5}{\$ 0.5} = 15\ games[/tex]
∴ 15 games is the maximum number of games they will be able to play.
