Question

QUESTION 4 Bella, Veronica, Jimmy and Rajesh are saving up to buy a new XBOX (a gaming console). The four are happy to play together and they can each use it whenever they wish. The XBOX they are looking at costs $400 and they agree to purchase it. However, they also wish to buy games and extra controllers valued at 73 dollars . Bella values the additional games and extra controllers at 38 dollars and Jimmy values them at 19 dollars. Veronica and Rajesh both value them the same. How much must Veronica value the additional games and extra controllers if this extra equipment is to be purchased? Answer to the nearest whole dollar figure (with no decimal points, spaces, S signs, or commas in your answer).

Answer 1

Market value of additional games and extra controllers = 73 dollars

Bella's value of additional games and extra controllers = 38 dollars

and Jimmy's value of the additional games and extra controller = 19 dollars

Therefore combined Veronica's and Rajesh's value of the additional games and extra controllers = 73-38-19=16 dollars

Therefore, veronica's value of the additional games and extra controllers = 16/2= 8 dollars
