Condoleezza purchased 8 video games and some candy at the store. If she spent $6 on candy and $64 total, what was the cost of each video game?

Question

$__

Answer 1

Let x be the cost of each video game.

Condoleezza spent $6 on candy, so she spent $64 - $6 = $58 on video games.
Since she purchased 8 video games, the cost of each video game would be $58 / 8 = $7.25.

Therefore, the cost of each video game is $7.25.
