Step-by-step explanation:

I did 36 x 2. I did not subtract the -6 for the prize money because it says not to.

Answer:

$72

Step-by-step explanation:

You are trying to determine how much money the school will take in before giving out prize money. Knowing this, you can actually ignore the $6 that the winner will get because you are not worried about giving out the prize money yet. You are only worried about how much you will make before the prize money.

So, you can do simple multiplication to find the answer:

price per game * amount of people playing game = money made from games

$2 * 36 = x

$72 = x
