In the past month, Heather rented 1 video game and 6 DVDs. The rental price for the video game was $2.40. The rental price for each DVD was $4.10. What is
the total amount that Heather spent on video game and DVD rentals in the past month?
The total cost for renting DVDs is 6 * $4.10 = $<<6*4.10=24.60>>24.60.
Heather spent $2.40 + $24.60 = $<<2.40+24.60=27>>27. Answer: \boxed{27}.
