It costs $2.50 to rent bowling shoes. Each game costs $2.25. You have $9.25. How many games can you bowl?
Choose which equation(s) can be used to solve the problem, then solve. (Choose ALL that apply).
A) 2.50x +2.25 = 9.25
B) 2.25x = 9.25 - 2.50
C) 2.25x +2.50 = 9.25
D) 2.50x = 9.25 - 2.25
A and D
To find how many games you can bowl, we need to determine the maximum number of games that you can afford with $9.25 and still have enough money left to rent the shoes.
Let's assume you can bowl x games. Since each game costs $2.25, the total cost of the games would be 2.25x dollars.
We also need to consider the cost of renting the bowling shoes, which is $2.50.
You have a budget of $9.25, so the equation representing your situation would be:
2.25x + 2.50 ≤ 9.25
To solve this inequality, we subtract 2.50 from both sides:
2.25x ≤ 6.75
Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 2.25:
x ≤ 6.75 ÷ 2.25
Simplifying this expression gives:
x ≤ 3
Therefore, you can bowl a maximum of 3 games with $9.25 and still have enough money left to rent the shoes.
