Cost of subscription A for watching 10 movies each month - $20 (monthly fee) + $5 per ticket for each movie = 20 + 5(10) = $70
Cost of subscription B for watching 10 movies each month - $40 (monthly fee) + $10 per ticket for (n-6) movies = 40 + 10(4) = $80

Therefore, amount saved by choosing subscription A over subscription B for watching 10 movies in a month = 80 - 70 = $10

X will be the number of movies.

Subscription A: 20 + 5X
Subscription B: 40 + 10*(X-6)

Given that X=10 -> Cost of subscription A= 20+5*10=70
Cost of subscription B= 40+10*(10-6)=80

Now, we need to be cautious, as they are asking for the amount saved, not the cost of B. 80-70=10.

Correct answers: 70 and 10

For A, monthly fees = $20 and price of ticket/movie = $5
So, watching 10 movies through A will cost = 20 + (5*10) = $70

For B, monthly fees = $40 (with 6 movies free/month) and price of ticket/movie (after 6 movies) = $10
So, watching 10 movies through B will cost = 40 + (4*10)= $80 [Since, 6 movies will be free].

Therefore, amount saved by choosing A over B= $80 - $70 = $10.

Subscription A:

Monthly fee: $20
Cost per movie: $5
Total movies: 10

Calculate the total cost for Subscription A:

Total cost for Subscription A = 20 + (10 × 5) = 20 + 50 = 70 dollars

Subscription B:

Monthly fee: $40
Up to 6 movies are free
Each additional movie costs $10
Total movies: 10

Calculate the total cost for Subscription B:

Cost for the first 6 movies: $0 (included in the monthly fee)
Cost for the next 4 movies: 4 × 10 = 40 dollars

So, the total cost for Subscription B:

Total cost for Subscription B = 40 + 40 = 80 dollars

Amount Saved by Choosing Subscription A:

Total cost for Subscription B−Total cost for Subscription A = 80 − 70 = 10 dollars

Selections:

Cost for Subscription A: $70
Amount Saved: $10

	A	B
Monthly fee	$20	$40
Per ticket per movie	$5	$10
		($10 beyond 6 movies)

Given: Jordan estimates he will watch 10 movies each month.

Total cost for Subscription A:
Monthly fee = $20
Cost of 10 movies = $5 * 10 = $50
Total cost = $70

Total cost for Subscription B:
Monthly fee = $40
Cost of 10 movies = $10 * 4 = $40 (Cost of watching 6 movies is already included in the monthly fee)
Total cost = $80

Therefore, amount saved by considering Subscription A = $10

Correct Answer:
Cost for Subscription A = $70
Amount Saved = $10

Cost for Subscription A can be calculated as 20 dollars + 5*10 dollars per movie= 70 dollars

Cost for Subscription B can be calculated as 40 dollars +(10-6)*4= 80 dollars

Hence cost for Subscription A is 70 dollars & the cost savings are equal to 80-70=10 dollars

12 Days of Christmas 2024 - 2025 Competition with $40,000 of Prizes

Jordan is considering two subscription options for attending movies at a local theater. Subscription A has a monthly fee of $20 and charges $5 per ticket for each movie. Subscription B has a monthly fee of $40, allowing him to watch up to 6 movies per month at no additional cost, with a $10 charge per ticket for any movies beyond the 6. Jordan estimates he will watch 10 movies each month.

Select for Cost for Subscription A the total cost of Subscription A for watching 10 movies, and select for Amount Saved the total amount saved by Jordan by choosing Subscription A over Subscription B for watching 10 movies. Make only two selections, one in each column.

No of movies = 10
Subs A = 20 + 5 (no of movies) = 20 + 5*10 = 20 + 50 = 70
Subs B = 40 + 10 (no of movies - 6) = 40 + 10*(10-6) = 40 + 40 = 80

Cost for Subs A = 70 and Amount Saved = 80 - 70 = 10

In TPA questions it’s always better to form a strategy first before solving. Well this is a detail bulky question so it’s better if we take notes on our notepad.

The question stem tells us that;

Subscription A has a monthly fee of $20 and charges $5 per ticket for each movie
Subscription B has a monthly fee of $40, allowing him to watch up to 6 movies per month at no additional cost, with a $10 charge per ticket for any movies beyond the 6
Jordan estimates he will watch 10 movies each month.(M=10)

And we have to find;

the total cost of Subscription A for watching 10 movies
the total amount saved by Jordan by choosing Subscription A over Subscription B for watching 10 movies

Let's form a table for easy comparison;

SUBSCRIPTION A	SUBSCRIPTION B
20+5m	40+10(m-6)
20+5*10	40+10*(10-6)
20+50=70	40+40=80

So, the total cost of Subscription A for watching 10 movies=70, and

The total amount saved by Jordan by choosing Subscription A over Subscription B for watching 10 movies=80-70=10

Hence we can choose these respective options.

Total number of movies watched in 1 month = 10

Subscription A = 20(monthly fees) +5(charges per ticket)*10(total tickets) = $70 (this is our first selection)

Subscription B = 40(monthly fees) + 10(charges per ticket) *(10-6(6 movies included in monthly fees)) = 40+10*4 = $80

Savings = 80 - 70 = $10 (this is our second selection)

Jordan is considering two subscription options for attending movies at a local theater. Subscription A has a monthly fee of $20 and charges $5 per ticket for each movie. Subscription B has a monthly fee of $40, allowing him to watch up to 6 movies per month at no additional cost, with a $10 charge per ticket for any movies beyond the 6. Jordan estimates he will watch 10 movies each month.

Select for Cost for Subscription A the total cost of Subscription A for watching 10 movies, and select for Amount Saved the total amount saved by Jordan by choosing Subscription A over Subscription B for watching 10 movies. Make only two selections, one in each column.

For Subscription A,

Subscription Fee= $20
Ticket Cost for watching 10 movies= $5*10 = $50
Total= $20+$50= $70

For Subscription B,

Subscription Fee= $40
Ticket Cost for watching 10 movies beyond the 6= $10*(10-6) = $10*4= $40
Total= $40+$40= $80

So, Jordan saved for choosing Subscription A over Subscription B = $80-$70 =$10

Answer: $70 and $10

Hi All,

Given:

Subs A--> Monthly Fees 20$ + 5$ per movie
Subs B--> Monthly Fees 40$ + 10$ per movie after 6 movies

Jordan estimate watching 10 movies in a month

Cost of watching 10 movies in subs A:

20+5x10
-->70$

Cost of watching 10 movies in subs B:
40+ 10x4
80$

Amount Saved = Costs in subs B - Costs in subs A
--> 80-70
-->10$
