Question

At Mr.Vid's Video Rentals you can join his VId Club for a monthly membership fee pf $30. Club members pay only $.85 to rent each movie. If you are not a member of the VID club, the movies rent for $2.25 each.How many videos would you have to rent each month to make a membership worth the investment?

Answer 1

costmembers=30+.85N
costnonmembers=2.25N
set the costs equal, and solve for N

Answer 2

I don't understand your answer, please explain more.

Answer 3

30+.85n=2.25n
I'm sure you know how to solve equations..

Answer 4

hey....i don't understand the question either....ii have two formulas too

Answer 5

What are your formulas?

Answer 6

30= 2.25x
x=13 movies
so i did 2.25 times 13 movies gave me about 29.25...if i did 14 movies than it will give me 31.50....i think its 13

Answer 7

Hmm that sounds right , But mr hs said that the equation was y=30 * 2.25x , So i don't know , This is confusing :/

Answer 8

lol...i agree 2...but if y=30*2.25x ....we know what x is but then what is y....877.5 have to do with anything...i did 2.25*13*30=877.5..
