Answer:

8 games

Explanation:

Sorry can't show my work, but subtract 0.75 from 15.00, 8 times. you'll get 9:00. do the same for Lise. subtract 0.50 from 13.00, 8 times.

The question is asking how much games do they have to play until they have the same amount of money left. They spend money each game, so subtract 0.50 or 0.75 from how much a girl has and that's one game. Keep subtracting and keep score of how many times you subtract from $15.00 and $13.00 until you get the same difference from both equations. Hope this helps!!
