$5 plus an additional $1.25 per game at a local arcade. altogether, he spent $26.25. Write and solve an eqution to determine how many game Marvin Played.
5 + 1.25N = 26.25 where N is the number of games Marvin played
Subtract 5 from both sides
1.25N = 21.25 divide both sides by 1.25
N = 17 games
well its $26.25-$5. then you get $21.25. you then divide that by $1.25 and boom theres your answer
If we set the number of games as N, then:
1.25N + 5=26.25
1.25N=26.25 - 5=21.25
N=21.25/1.25
N=17 No. of games Marvin played.
