Question

Adam received a $200 gift card. He wants to buy some video games. Video games cost $45.50 each. Write an equation to determine how many video games can he buy, solve it, and determine if the value is a viable solution.


Keep your answer 2-3 sentences long and simple.

Answer 1

Let x = number of games and satisfy 45.50x ≤ 200. Solving gives x ≤ 200/45.50 ≈ 4.39, so he can buy 4 games (4 × $45.50 = $182 ≤ $200).
