Ben went bowling with his friends. The bowling alley charges $22 for an hour of group bowling plus a fee to rent each pair of shoes. Ben's group bowled for one hour, rented 5 pairs of shoes, and paid a total of $37. What is the fee to rent each pair of shoes?
Let x be the fee to rent each pair of shoes.
The total cost can be represented by the equation: 22 + 5x = 37
Subtracting 22 from both sides, we get: 5x = 15
Dividing by 5, we find that each pair of shoes costs $3 to rent.
Therefore, the fee to rent each pair of shoes is $3.
