Question

A video game rental website charges a $15.00 membership fee and $7.00 for every video game rented.
How much would it cost to rent 2 video games?
Number of Games (n) Cost (c)
2 $
6
10

Answer 1

To determine the total cost of renting video games, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Membership Fee} + (\text{Cost per Game} \times \text{Number of Games}) \]

Given:
- Membership Fee = $15.00
- Cost per Game = $7.00
- Number of Games rented = \( n \)

Now, calculating the total cost for renting 2 video games:

1. Calculate the cost for the games:
\[
7 \text{ (cost per game)} \times 2 \text{ (number of games)} = 14
\]

2. Add the membership fee:
\[
15 \text{ (membership fee)} + 14 \text{ (cost for 2 games)} = 29
\]

Thus, the cost to rent 2 video games is:
\[ 2 \quad \$29.00 \]

Next, let's calculate the costs for 6 and 10 video games.

For renting 6 video games:
\[
7 \times 6 = 42
\]
\[
15 + 42 = 57
\]
So the cost for 6 video games is:
\[ 6 \quad \$57.00 \]

For renting 10 video games:
\[
7 \times 10 = 70
\]
\[
15 + 70 = 85
\]
So the cost for 10 video games is:
\[ 10 \quad \$85.00 \]

Now, we can summarize the costs in the table:

| Number of Games (n) | Cost (c) |
|----------------------|------------|
| 2 | $29.00 |
| 6 | $57.00 |
| 10 | $85.00 |
