Let v be the amount of money Samir received for each video game.
The total amount of money Samir received for 4 video games is 4v.
He spent $23.65 on a controller, so 4v - 23.65 = $6.35 remaining.
To find the amount of money Samir received for each video game, solve the equation 4v - 23.65 = $6.35:
4v = $6.35 + $23.65
4v = $30
v = $30 / 4
v = $7.50
Therefore, Samir received $7.50 for each video game.
Samir sold 4 of his old Star Leaper video games at Trading Post Game Shop. Before he left, he spent $23.65 of his earnings on a controller. Samir had $6.35 remaining.
