jessie is playing an arcade game that costs 50cents for the first game and 25cents to continue if she loses. how much will she spend on the game if she continues 9 times?
the initial game costs 50 cents.
ANS= 50 + 25x
= 50 + 25(9)
= $2.75
To calculate how much Jessie will spend on the game if she continues 9 times, we need to consider the initial cost and the additional cost for each continue.
The initial cost of playing the arcade game is 50 cents.
For each continue after losing, Jessie needs to pay an additional 25 cents.
Since Jessie wants to continue playing 9 times, she will have 8 additional continues after losing the first game.
To calculate the total cost, we need to sum up the initial cost and the additional costs for the continues.
Initial cost: 50 cents
Additional cost per continue: 25 cents
Number of continues after the first game: 8 continues
Total cost = Initial cost + (Additional cost per continue * Number of continues)
= 50 cents + (25 cents * 8)
= 50 cents + 200 cents
= 250 cents
Therefore, Jessie will spend a total of 250 cents, or $2.50, on the game if she continues 9 times.
To find out how much Jessie will spend on the game if she continues nine times, we need to calculate the total cost.
The first game cost 50 cents, and for each subsequent game (if she loses), it will cost 25 cents. Since she will continue nine times, we need to find the sum of the cost of the first game and the additional cost for continuing eight more times.
Let's break it down step by step:
1. First, we find the total cost of continuing after the first game. Since she will continue nine times, the cost of continuing is 25 cents per game for eight games.
Cost of continuing = 25 cents/game * 8 games = $2.00
2. Next, we find the total cost by adding the cost of the first game to the cost of continuing.
Total cost = Cost of the first game + Cost of continuing
Total cost = 50 cents + $2.00 = $2.50
Therefore, Jessie will spend $2.50 on the game if she continues nine times.
