Question

The next month, the family tries the bowling palace, which is on the other side of the town. they set aside $30 for gas and food. only four family members are bowling this time. the total budget for this outing is $106. the prices at the bowling palace are listed on the table. write an equation to find how many games each family member can bowl. let g represent the number of games bowled by each family member. then solve your equation.

Answer 1

4s + g = 76.00

4(9)+ g=76.00

36+g=76.00

36-36+g=76-36

g=40 /4

g=10

Explanation:

106.00-30=76.00

s= shoes 9.00

g= games

4s + g = 76.00

4(9)+ g=76.00

36+g=76.00

36-36+g=76-36

g=40 /4

g=10

Answer 2

The family can bowl a total of 20 games . Since the family members are 4 in number each of them can bowl 5 games.

Explanation:

let

g = number of game bowl by each family

The total cost or budget = ?

cost per game = $2

shoe rental( one time fee per visit) = $9

shoe rental for 4 family member = 9 × 4 = $36

budget for gas and food = $30

The equation can be written as follows:

2g+36+30 = 106

collect like tems

2g = 106 - 36 - 30

2g = 40

divide both sides by 2

g = 20

The family can bowl a total of 20 games . Since the family members are 4 in number each of them can bowl 5 games.
