In the past month, Mary rented 5 video game and DVDs. The rental price for the video game was $2.40. The rental price for each DVD was $3.60. What is the total amount that Mary spent on video game and DVD rentals in the past month?
Mary spent 5 * $2.40 = $<<5*2.40=12>>12 on video game rentals.
Mary spent 5 * $3.60 = $<<5*3.60=18>>18 on DVD rentals.
The total amount Mary spent on video game and DVD rentals in the past month is $12 + $18 = $<<12+18=30>>30. Answer: \boxed{30}.
To find the total amount that Mary spent on video game and DVD rentals in the past month, we need to calculate the individual costs of the video game rentals and DVD rentals separately, and then add them together.
First, let's find the cost of the video game rentals:
Mary rented 5 video games, and the rental price for each video game was $2.40.
So, the total cost of the video game rentals is 5 x $2.40 = $<<5*2.40=12>>12.
Next, let's find the cost of the DVD rentals:
Mary also rented 5 DVDs, and the rental price for each DVD was $3.60.
So, the total cost of the DVD rentals is 5 x $3.60 = $<<5*3.60=18>>18.
Finally, let's add the cost of video game rentals and DVD rentals to find the total amount Mary spent:
Total amount spent = Cost of video game rentals + Cost of DVD rentals
Total amount spent = $12 + $18 = $<<12+18=30>>30.
Therefore, Mary spent a total of $30 on video game and DVD rentals in the past month.
To calculate the total amount Mary spent on video game and DVD rentals in the past month, we first need to determine the cost of renting the video games and DVDs separately.
Mary rented 5 video games at a cost of $2.40 per game. Thus, the total cost of renting video games would be 5 * $2.40 = $<<5*2.40=12.00>>12.00.
Mary also rented 5 DVDs at a cost of $3.60 per DVD. Therefore, the total cost of renting the DVDs would be 5 * $3.60 = $<<5*3.60=18.00>>18.00.
To find the total amount spent on both video game and DVD rentals, we add the cost of renting the video games and the cost of renting the DVDs.
So, the total amount that Mary spent on video game and DVD rentals in the past month is $12.00 + $18.00 = $<<12+18=30.00>>30.00.
Therefore, Mary spent a total of $30.00 on video game and DVD rentals in the past month.
