it costs $12.50 to see a movie at a theater near jason's house. it only costs $1,95 to rent a dvd from an online service a dvd player costs $125 to the nearest whole number, how many movies must jason watch on dvd instead of at the theater before he recover the cost of the dvd player

round that up?

going to the theatre

C = 12.5n, where n is the number of movies seen

buying a player, then renting
C = 125 + 1.95n

12.5n = 125 + 1.95n
10.55n = 125
n = 11.8

I will let you interpret that decimal answer

Well, that depends on how funny the movies are. If they're hilarious, then Jason can watch all the movies he wants and the laughter will be priceless. But if they're not so funny, then it might take him a while to recoup the cost of the DVD player. Either way, laughter is always a great investment!

To find out how many movies Jason must watch on DVD instead of at the theater before he recovers the cost of the DVD player, we need to calculate the cost per movie for both options.

The cost of watching a movie at the theater is $12.50.

The cost of renting a DVD from an online service is $1.95.

Next, we need to calculate the difference in cost between watching a movie at the theater and renting a DVD:

Cost per movie = Cost of DVD Player / (Cost of watching a movie at the theater - Cost of renting a DVD)

Cost per movie = $125 / ($12.50 - $1.95)

Now let's calculate the cost per movie:

Cost per movie = $125 / $10.55

Cost per movie ≈ $11.85

So Jason needs to watch approximately 11-12 movies on DVD instead of at the theater before he recovers the cost of the DVD player.

To calculate the number of movies Jason must watch on DVD instead of at the theater to recover the cost of the DVD player, we need to find the difference in cost between watching a movie at the theater and watching a movie on DVD.

The difference in cost per movie is calculated by subtracting the cost of renting a DVD from the cost of seeing a movie at the theater:

Difference in cost = Cost of movie at theater - Cost of renting DVD
= $12.50 - $1.95
= $10.55

Now, we can determine how many movies Jason needs to watch on DVD to recover the cost of the DVD player. To do this, we divide the cost of the DVD player by the difference in cost per movie:

Number of movies = Cost of DVD player / Difference in cost
= $125 / $10.55
≈ 11.85

Since we cannot watch a fraction of a movie, we will round up to the nearest whole number. This means that Jason needs to watch at least 12 movies on DVD before he recovers the cost of the DVD player.
