James likes to go to the movies. The cost of a matinee showing is $6 and the cost of a night showing is $8. If James spent $86 and went to 12 movies in 1 month, how many matinee showings did James go to?

PLEASE HELP

Answer:7.1759 repeating the numbers after decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you do 86 divided by 12

12 goes into 86 7 times which gives you 86 - 84 which will leave 2 leftover

Then you drop down the 0 which makes it 20 and 12 goes into 20 which would make it 20 - 12

Then you have 8 leftover and you drop the 0 to make it 80 and 12 goes into 80 7 times which give you 80 - 74 which would give you 6 leftover, then you drop the 0 to make it 60

12 goes into 60 5 times which gives you 60 - 50 and 10 leftover, drop the 0 again to make it 100

12 goes into 100 9 times which gives you 100 - 98, which would leave you with 2 leftover

Then it continues to repeat like that so you put the repeating sign over the numbers after the decimal to show it is repeating

Hope this is a good explanation of what it should look like
