Answer 1

To find the total cost of renting 10 movies from both Movies Plus and Movies for Less, we can use the respective pricing structures for each service.

Movies Plus:

• Monthly service fee: $8
• Cost per movie: $2
• Total cost for renting 10 movies:

\[ \text{Total cost} = \text{service fee} + (\text{cost per movie} \times \text{number of movies}) \]

\[ \text{Total cost} = 8 + (2 \times 10) = 8 + 20 = 28 \]

Movies for Less:

• Cost per movie: $2.50
• Total cost for renting 10 movies:

\[ \text{Total cost} = \text{cost per movie} \times \text{number of movies} \]

\[ \text{Total cost} = 2.50 \times 10 = 25 \]

Conclusion:

When purchasing 10 movies:

• Movies Plus costs $28.
• Movies for Less costs $25.

So, for 10 movies, Movies for Less costs less than Movies Plus.
