Question

Three friends go bowling. The cost per person per game is $5.30. The cost to rent shoes is $2.50 per person. Their total cost is $55.20. How many games did they play?
Set up the equation and explain your work, please

Answer 1

well first what we can do is this:

subtract the cost of the shoes from the total cost

1. $2.50*(3) = 7.50
2. $55.20-($7.50) = $47.70

Answer 2

\[\frac{ $47.70 }{ 5.30 } = number~of~games~played \]

Answer 3

So, around 8 games?
