The monthly charge for Danielle's cable bill is ________ . Danielle also pays ________ every time she watches a movie on demand.

Answer 1

The monthly charge for Danielle's cable bill is $69. Danielle also pays $5 every time she watches a movie on demand.

(Here’s how the calculation works:

Total bill = Monthly charge + (Number of movies watched × Cost per movie) $104 = $69 + (7 × Cost per movie)

Subtract $69 from both sides: $104 - $69 = 7 × Cost per movie $35 = 7 × Cost per movie

Now, divide both sides by 7: Cost per movie = $35 / 7 = $5)
