Question

Please help me , An online movie rental store rented out 6,816 movies one month. This was 40% less than the number of movies it rented out the previous month. The following equation represents this situation, where x represents the number of movies the store rented out the previous month.

x - 0.4x = 6,816

How many movies did the store rent out in both months combined?

Answer 1

0.6x = 6816
x = 6816/0.6

Answer 2

x = 11360

Answer 3

Total:
11360 + 6816 = 18176
