Adam received a $200 gift card. he wants to buy some video games. Video games $45.50. Write an equation to determine how many video games can he buy, solve it, and determine if the value is a viable solution

Let "x" represent the number of video games Adam can buy.

The cost of one video game is $45.50.

Hence, the equation to determine how many video games Adam can buy is:

45.50x = 200

To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 45.50:

x = 200 / 45.50

Simplify the division to find the value of x:

x ≈ 4.39

Since we cannot buy a fraction of a video game, Adam can only buy a whole number of video games. Therefore, the solution x = 4 is not a viable solution. Adam can only buy 4 video games if he spends the entire $200 gift card.
