Practice Question
One online movie-streaming service costs $8 per month and charges $1.50 per movie. A second service costs $2 per month and charges $2 per movie. For what number of movies per month is the monthly cost of both services the same?
Answer Choices
- A: 3
- B: 6
- C: 5
- D: 12
- E: 20
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Let m be movies. First service: 8 + 1.5m. Second: 2 + 2m. Equate: 8 + 1.5m = 2 + 2m. Subtract 1.5m: 8 = 2 + 0.5m. Subtract 2: 6 = 0.5m. So, m = 12. Options: 3, 6, 5, 20 incorrect; 12 correct.
