The Fun Guys game rental store charges an annual fee of $15 and charges $5.50 per game rented. The Game Bank charges an annual fee of $31 and charges $3.50 per game. For how many game rentals will the cost be the same at both stores? What is that cost?
Fun Guys cost= 15 +5.5.a where a is no of games rental
Game Bank Cost= 31 +3.5.a where a is no of games rental
Since cost is equal in both Therefore 31 + 3.5.a= 15 + 5.5.a ->2.a=16 ->a=8 Therefore after 8 game rentals cost is same in both stores. cost= 31+ 3.5.(8)=59
