To find out how many games you can bowl, we need to subtract the cost of renting bowling shoes from the total amount of money you have. Then, we can divide the remaining amount by the cost of each game.
Step 1: Subtract the cost of renting shoes from the total amount of money you have:
Total money - Cost of shoes = Remaining money
$9.25 - $2.50 = $6.75
Step 2: Divide the remaining amount by the cost of each game to find the number of games you can bowl:
Remaining money / Cost per game = Number of games
$6.75 / $2.25 = 3
So, you can bowl 3 games with $9.25.
