Question

Mike's Media Market buys and sells used video games. Lily decided to sell her set of 8 Throttle Escape video games, since she had beaten each game. She got $103.60 for the entire set.
Let v represent how much money Lily got for each video game. Which equation models the problem?
8v=103.60
v
8
=103.60
Solve this equation to find how much money Lily got for each video game.

Answer 1

To model the problem, let \( v \) represent the amount of money Lily got for each video game. Since she has 8 video games and sold them for a total of $103.60, the correct equation is:

\[
8v = 103.60
\]

Now we can solve for \( v \):

1. Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

\[
v = \frac{103.60}{8}
\]

2. Calculate the right side:

\[
v = 12.95
\]

So, Lily got **$12.95** for each video game.
