Jason wants to use his earnings from Monday and Tuesday for online movie rentals. The movies cost $2.96 each to rent. How many movies can Jason rent?
Jason sells can's to a recycling center that pays $0.40 per pound of cans.
Jasons cans (pounds)
Monday 11.5
Tuesday 10.7
So add 11.5 and 10.7 which comes out to 22.2/2.96=7.5
Would the above be correct?
No. You forgot to multiply the number of pounds by the price -- $0.40
He can rent 3 movies
how did you get 3 movies??
Yes, 3 movies
You're welcome, Matt.
Take each step one at a time.
