A video store rents new movies for $5 and older movies for $4. The owner wants
$14000 in revenue per month. How many new movies must be rented if the number of
older movies rented is 400?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

2480 new movies

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First you need to find out how much money the 400 older movies made.

[tex]400*4=1600[/tex]

2) Next subtract that amount from the amount of revenue that the wants.

[tex]14000-1600=12400[/tex]

3) Divide the amount of leftover money by the amount that a new movie costs to rent

[tex]12400/5=2480[/tex]

This means that in order to reach the desired amount of revenue the store must sell 2480 new movies.
