Henry receives a $$60.00$ gift card to pay for movies online. He uses his gift card to buy $3$ movies for $$7.50$ each. If he spends the rest of his gift card balance on renting movies for $$1.50$ each, how many movies can Henry rent?

ExplanationShow

Choice B is correct. It's given that Henry uses his $$60.00$ gift card to buy $3$ movies for $$7.50$ each. Therefore, Henry spends $3 ($7.50)$ , or $$22.50$ , of his $$60.00$ gift card to buy $3$ movies. After buying $3$ movies with his $$60.00$ gift card, Henry has a gift card balance of $$60.00 - $22.50$ , or $$37.50$ . It's also given that Henry spends the rest of his gift card balance on renting movies for $$1.50$ each. Therefore, Henry can rent $\frac{$37.50}{$1.50}$ , or $25$ , movies.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
