Question

Sam has $50 to spend on video games. He buys one video game for $26. With the money he has left over, how many $9 games can Sam buy?

Answer 1

Sam starts with $50 and spends $26 on one video game. To find out how much money he has left, we need to subtract the cost of the video game from the total amount he had:

\[
50 - 26 = 24
\]

Now Sam has $24 remaining. Next, we need to find out how many $9 video games he can buy with this remaining amount. We do this by dividing the leftover money by the cost of one $9 game:

\[
\frac{24}{9} \approx 2.67
\]

Since Sam can only buy whole video games, we take the integer part of this result, which is 2.

Therefore, with the money he has left over, Sam can buy **2 $9 video games**.
