QuestionYou rent 6 DVDs for a month. Calculate if Option C's \$15.99 streaming is cheaper than renting at \$1.45/night.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. Six DVDs are rented in a month from machines.
. Three of the DVDs are returned after one night, and the other three are kept for two nights.
3. Option A charges 15.99 per month.
STEP 2
First, we need to calculate the total cost of renting DVDs from Option A. For the three DVDs returned after one night, the cost is the number of DVDs multiplied by the cost per DVD per night.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the number of DVDs and the cost per DVD per night to calculate the cost for the DVDs returned after one night.
STEP 4
Calculate the cost for the DVDs returned after one night.
STEP 5
Next, we need to calculate the total cost of renting DVDs from Option A for the three DVDs kept for two nights. The cost is the number of DVDs multiplied by the cost per DVD per night and the number of nights.
STEP 6
Now, plug in the given values for the number of DVDs, the cost per DVD per night, and the number of nights to calculate the cost for the DVDs kept for two nights.
STEP 7
Calculate the cost for the DVDs kept for two nights.
STEP 8
Now that we have the costs for the DVDs returned after one night and the DVDs kept for two nights, we can find the total cost of renting DVDs from Option A. This is the sum of the two costs.
STEP 9
Plug in the values for the cost of one night and the cost of two nights to calculate the total cost of Option A.
STEP 10
Calculate the total cost of Option A.
STEP 11
Now that we have the total cost of renting DVDs from Option A, we can compare this with the cost of Option C's unlimited streaming option to find out if you would have spent more or less on Option C.
STEP 12
Plug in the values for the total cost of Option C and the total cost of Option A to calculate the difference.
STEP 13
Calculate the difference.
You would have spent $2.94 more on Option C's unlimited streaming option.
