Question

On Saturday, you bowl at Mar vista Bowl, where renting shoes costs $2 and each game bowled is $3.50. On Sunday, you bowl at Pinz where the shoe rental is $5 and each game bowled is $3.25. If you spent the same amount each day, how many games,g, were bowled?

Answer 1

Answer:

• 12 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of games is g

Total cost at Mar Vista:

• 3.5g + 2

Total cost at Pinz:

• 3.25g + 5

Since same amount spent in both places, we have:

• 3.5g + 2 = 3.25g + 5
• 3.5g - 3.25 = 5 - 2
• 0.25g = 3
• g = 3/0.25
• g = 12
