Question

anonymous · Answer

how many dollars does she bring?

anonymous · Answer

If Bridgette plays g games, 
1. pay one time admission 18,
2 g*2.5 for the games she played

18+g*2.5<=d

anonymous · Answer

g*2.5<=d-18

g<=(d-18)/2.5

anonymous · Answer

Why <=, because your expenses should be less than or equal to the amount you have in pocket. As you cannot play on credit :)

anonymous · Answer

I put 18 + 2.5g <=d and got it wrong. That is what brought me here. Think I should question this answer???

anonymous · Answer

try g<=(d-18)/2.5. It is same as the earlier, but in different format. If it also got wrong, definitely, some thing messy with question . :)
