Answer 4

It cost $4.25 per game at the bowling alley, plus $1.90 to rent shoes. If Wayne has $20, how many games can he bowl

Answer 5

Ok xo you have to add \(4.25+1.90\)

Answer 6

so*

Answer 7

Exactly.

Answer 10

So divide the sum of \(4.25\) and \(1.90\) by 20.
That's all it's asking,
\((4.25+1.90)÷20=?\)

Wait
or it's the other way around,
\(20÷(4.25+1.90)=?\)

Answer 13

politely disagree with the previous responses

it costs 4.25 **per game** so you cannot just add this to the flat fee of 1.90 because these numbers represent different types of costs

in terms of an equation: if x = the # of games, then

4.25x + 1.90 ≤ 20
(since the total cost must be less than/equal to the amount he has)

you can solve the inequality for x

ok make sense to me

Answer 15

then I'm pretty sure the answer is x≤4.258824

Answer 16

Subtract 1.9 from both sides.

Answer 17

good, but since x represents "# of games" x can only be an integer

in this case, round down to 4, and he can only afford 4 games

Answer 18

then divide both sides by 4.25.
