Angie and kenny play online video games. Angle buys 1 software package and 3 months of game play. Kenny buys 1 software package and 5 month of game play. Each software package costs $50. if their total cost is $212, what is the cost of one month of game play?

Answer 1

Let's assume the cost of one month of game play is x dollars.
Angie buys 1 software package for $50, which means she spends $50 on game play for 3 months. So, she spends 3x dollars on game play.
Kenny also buys 1 software package for $50, and he spends $50 on game play for 5 months. So, he spends 5x dollars on game play.
Therefore, the total cost of game play is 3x + 5x = 8x dollars.
We are given that the total cost is $212, so we can set up the following equation:
8x = $212
Dividing both sides of the equation by 8, we get:
x = $212/8
x = $26.50
Therefore, the cost of one month of game play is $26.50. Answer: \boxed{26.50}.
