Carlos saw the poster below at the mall advertising the opening day of the new video game arcade:

**Jojo's Arcade Grand Opening**
- First 3 games: Free
- 75 cents per game after the first 3 games

If Carlos saved up $9.00 from his allowance, how many games could he play?

Answer :

Answer:

Carlos could play a total of 15 games

Step-by-step explanation:

In the grand opening of JoJo's arcade:

First 3 games are free

75 cents after the first 3 free games

Carlos has $9 saved from his allowance

75 cents = $0.75

Number of games Carlos could play = Total saved allowance / cost per game after 3 free games

= $9 / $0.75

= 12 games

Total number of games Carlos could play = free games + games from his allowance

= 3 + 12

= 15 games

Carlos could play a total of 15 games

Carlos could play a total of 15 games at Jojo's arcade with his $9.00 allowance. This includes the first three free games and 12 additional games that cost 75 cents each.

Carlos saw a poster for the grand opening of a new video game arcade. According to the poster, the first three games at Jojo's arcade are free, and after those, each game costs 75 cents.

Carlos has saved up $9.00 from his allowance. To determine how many games Carlos could play, we first exclude the three free games from our calculation. Then, we use the remaining money to calculate how many 75-cent games Carlos can play with his $9.00.

  1. Subtract the cost of the free games, which is $0, from Carlos’s total money: $9.00 - $0 = $9.00.
  2. Divide the remaining money by the cost per game after the free ones: $9.00 × 0.75 = 12 games.
  3. Add the free games to the games paid for with the remaining money: 3 free games + 12 paid games = 15 total games.

Therefore, Carlos could play a total of 15 games at Jojo's arcade with his $9.00.
