Lewis wants to play several games of paintball with his friends. At the park, it costs $14.62 for admission and paintballs, and $5.98 for each game he plays. Which of the following equations could be used to determine Lewis's total cost for several games of paintball?

(Let x represent the number of games Lewis plays and y represent his total cost.)
$14.62y = $5.98x
y = $14.62x + $5.98
y = $5.98x
y = $5.98x + $14.62

(Let x represent the number of games Lewis plays and y represent his total cost.)
$14.62y = $5.98x
y = $14.62x + $5.98
y = $5.98x
y = $5.98x + $14.62
