Question

I am confusing about the part that say ('FOR IT NOT TO BE PURCHASED')

QUESTION 4 Veronica, Jimmy and Rajesh saving up to buy a new XBOX (a gaming console). The three are happy to play together and they can each use it whenever they wish. The XBOX they are looking at costs $400 and they have agreed to purchase it However, they also wish to buy games and extra controllers valued at 76 dollars. If Veronica values the additional games and extra controllers at 38 dollars and Jimmy values them at 11 dollars, what is the most Rajesh can value the additional equipment (using whole dollars only) for it not to be purchased? Answer to the nearest whole dollar figure (with no decimal points, spaces, S signs, or commas in your answer).

Answer 1

Answer 4

Price of Extra controllers and Games = $76.

Think like that you will buy a good at a price P If you value this good at a price P or greater. Hence, Veronica, Jimmy and Rajesh will together buy this good If they Together value this Extra Games and Exrtra Constrllers lt least The price of Games and extra Controller i.e. $76.

Hence, If this extra equipment then:

Combined Value of this game for All of them = 76

=> 38 + 11 + Value to Rajesh = 76 => Value to Rajesh = 76 - 11 - 38 = 27

Hence, answer is 27

Note : As they are willing to buy XBOX console at $400, hence there combined value from XBOX is atleast 400
