Let x represent games and y represent movies.
Then the total cost is given by 6.50x+4y
Amount left after 1 video game and m movies: 37-6.50-4m=30.50-4m (Answer)
No video games: 37=4y so that y=9.25 movies. Round to 9 movies (Answer)
No movies: 37=6.50x so that x=5.69 games. Round to 6 games (Answer)
