How many movies can she view this month?

She can view ___ movies this month.

Answer 1

Answer:

Marisa can rent 10 movies this month including the $5.00 membership fee. Not including the membership fee she could rent 14 movies this month. Her mistake is was rounding the 10.8 up when she should have rounded it down, unless she can get 10 8/10 of a movie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

13 movies

Step-by-step explanation:

22.25 = 5 + 1.25x

-5. -5

17.25 = 1.25x

Divide both sides by 1.25

13.8 = x

She can watch 13 movies. While it is 13.8, you cannot pay for .80th of a movie, it’s all or none.
