Answer:
First, we need to determine an equation for both Arcade X and Arcade Y.
Arcade X: 0.65t + 5 = P
- t = # of tokens
- P = total price
Arcade Y: 0.45t + 10 = P
- t = # of tokens
- P = total price
If you graph both lines, we will find the solution to be (25, 21.25), which means that D. 25 tokens will need to be bought in order for the total cost in both arcades to be the same.
I have included the graph here.
