Question

At the start of the month, a brand new arcade game's play counter read 2,197. At the end of the month, it read 7,306. If the game was played for 2 1/2 minutes each time, then what was the approximate total number of minutes played on the new game for the month?

Answer 1

the brand new arcade is second-hand?

Answer 2

We begin:
\[
(7306-2197)\cdot\frac{5}{2}=12772.5\text{ mins}
\]
And, yes, apparently so @lgbasallote
