Answer:
You can bowl <u>7 games.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
To begin, you need shoes.
-$5.25
So, we would do $26.25 minus the amount for shoes $5.25
<u>$26.25-$5.25 = $21</u>
You now have $21 to spend on bowling the games. Since it is $3 each game, we can do the equation $21 = $3x. We can do this becuase you have $21 to spend and each game costs $3. So we can put x for how many games and 3 as the price of each game. Now, we simplify to get x alone. This will be how many games you can bowl.
<u>21 = 3x</u>
Divide by 3 on both sides
<u>7 = x</u>
So, you can bowl 7 games.
