Question
Maggie has $50 gift card that she will use to purchase games for her phone. each game costs $1.99 she has a coupon code for $5 off her entire purchase.
which equation can be used to find x, the maximum number of games maggie can purchase?
a 50 = 1.99 - 5x
b 50 = 1.99 + 5x
c 50 = 1.99 + 5
d 50 = 1.99 - 5

To find the maximum number of games \( x \) that Maggie can purchase with her gift card, we need to account for the total cost of the games after applying the coupon code.
The cost for \( x \) games at $1.99 each is \( 1.99x \). Since she has a $5 coupon, the total cost of her purchase can be expressed as \( 1.99x - 5 \).
We want this total cost to be equal to the amount on her gift card, which is $50. Therefore, the equation will be:
\[
50 = 1.99x - 5
\]
Now, looking at the given choices:
- **a** 50 = 1.99 - 5x
- **b** 50 = 1.99 + 5x
- **c** 50 = 1.99 + 5
- **d** 50 = 1.99 - 5
None of the choices match \( 50 = 1.99x - 5 \) directly. However, it looks like option **a)** attempts to relate the cost with \( -5x \), which is incorrect, and the other options don't correctly represent the equation we're trying to establish.
So, to find the correct equation based on the information provided, it should be:
\[
50 = 1.99x - 5
\]
Unfortunately, none of the available answers correctly represent this equation. However, if I were to summarize, the correct equation for finding \( x \) is:
\[
50 + 5 = 1.99x
\]
which simplifies to:
\[
55 = 1.99x
\]
This enables Maggie to find the maximum number of games she can buy.

To find the maximum number of games \( x \) Maggie can buy with her $50 gift card, use this equation:
\[ 50 = 1.99x - 5 \]
This represents the total cost for \( x \) games at $1.99 each, after applying a $5 coupon.
The correct option isn't provided from the choices, as they do not match the equation we derived.
\[ 50 = 1.99x - 5 \]

The best answer from the choices provided is:
**d) \( 50 = 1.99 - 5 \)**
Although this option doesn't accurately reflect the correct equation, it is the closest choice available if we are assuming some basic cost structure without the multiplication factor for \( x \).
The correct equation to represent Maggie's purchase is actually:
\[ 50 = 1.99x - 5 \]
but since that isn't an option, **d** is the best available choice (keeping in mind it still lacks that \( x \)).
