Question

Sharkira went bowling with her friends.She paid $3 to rent shoes and then 4.75 for each game of bowling. If she spent a total of $21,then how many games did Sharkira bowl?

Answer 1

$21 - $3 = $18

$18 - $4.75 = $13.25 

$13.25 - $4.75 = $8.50

$8.50 - $4.75 = $3.75

Which means that she played 3 games, and has $3.75 left over. 

But if you were to divide 4.75 from 21 it would equal 4 games and $2 left over.

21 - 4.75 = 16. 25

16.25 - 4.75 = 11.50

11.50 - 4.75 = 6.75

6.75 - 4.75 = 2

4 games and $2 dollars left over.
