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? (1 point)
• 2 games
• 3 games
• 5 games
6 games

Answer 1

Sam initially has $50. After buying one video game for $26, he has:

\[
50 - 26 = 24
\]

dollars left.

Next, to find out how many $9 games Sam can buy with the remaining $24, we perform the following calculation:

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

Since Sam can only buy whole games, we round down to the nearest whole number:

Sam can buy 2 games.

Therefore, the answer is **2 games**.
