Joseph just changed his cable television plan to include on-demand movies for $2.95 each. the charge for the basic cable package is $24.95 per month. if his bill one month was $39.70, how many on-demand movies did he watch?

Total Bill: $39.70

You have to subtract the price for the basic cable package:

$39.70 - $24.95 = $14.75

That means that he spent $14.75 on movies this month.

If each movie costs $2.95, and he spent $14.75 on movies, then:

$14.75/$2.95 = 5 movies

So he watched 5 movies!
