Video Game Rental At
Algebra question?
Harris has $20.92 to spend on video-game rentals at a local video store. The store charges $3.95 per video-game rental plus an 8.125% tax. What is the maximum number of video games that Harris can rent?
I know i have to add the tax. But to find the the total tax
do i multiply or divide?
Figure out the tax amount for one video game rental. Add that to the rental price and then divide the $20.92 by that amount. Your answer will be the number of video games you can rent!
3.95 x .08125 = .32
3.95 x .32 = 4.27
20.92 / 4.27 = 4 (and some change)
You can rent 4 videos for a total of 17.08. You will have 3.84 left over.
