You and your friends buy games every four weeks. On average, the games are twenty-five dollars. There are five friends, how much money do you spend in a year buying games

Answer 1

To calculate how much you and your friends spend on games in a year, we'll follow these steps:

1. Determine how many times you buy games in a year.
2. Calculate the total cost per purchase.
3. Multiply by the number of purchases in a year.

Step 1: Number of Purchases in a Year

Since you buy games every four weeks, you can calculate the number of purchases in a year as follows:

• There are 52 weeks in a year.
• The number of purchases per year is: \[ \frac{52 \text{ weeks}}{4 \text{ weeks/purchase}} = 13 \text{ purchases/year} \]

Step 2: Total Cost per Purchase

The average cost of the games is $25. Since there are 5 friends, the cost per purchase for the group is: \[ 5 \text{ friends} \times 25 \text{ dollars/game} = 125 \text{ dollars/purchase} \]

Step 3: Total Annual Spending

Now you multiply the total cost per purchase by the number of purchases in a year: \[ 125 \text{ dollars/purchase} \times 13 \text{ purchases/year} = 1625 \text{ dollars/year} \]

So, you and your friends spend $1,625 on games in a year.
