Adam received a $200 gift card. he wants to buy some video games. Video games $45.50. Write an equation to determine how many video games can he buy, solve it, and determine if the value is a viable solution
Let "x" represent the number of video games Adam can buy.
The cost of one video game is $45.50.
Hence, the equation to determine how many video games Adam can buy is:
45.50x = 200
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 45.50:
x = 200 / 45.50
Simplify the division to find the value of x:
x ≈ 4.39
Since we cannot buy a fraction of a video game, Adam can only buy a whole number of video games. Therefore, the solution x = 4 is not a viable solution. Adam can only buy 4 video games if he spends the entire $200 gift card.
