Write a system of equations, with one equation describing the cost to bowl at Bowl-o-Rama and the other describing the cost to bowl at Bowling Pinz. For each equation, let x represent the number of games played and let y represent the total cost.

Bowl-O-Rama rents shoes for $2 and each game cost $2.50

Bowling Pinz rents shoes for $4 and each game cost $2

Answer:

Bowl-O-Rama:

y = $2 + $2.50x

Bowling pinz:

y = $4 + $2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost is the sum of shoe rental plus the product of the unit game rate and the number of games played.

Total cost, y

x = number of games played

Bowl-O-Rama:

y = Shoe rent + (unit rate per game * number of games)

y = $2 + ($2.50 * x)

y = $2 + $2.50x

Bowling Pinz :

y = Shoe rent + (unit rate per game * number of games)

y = $4 + ($2 * x)

y = $4 + $2x
