Answer: 3 games

Explanation:

You need to factor in both the cost of renting a bowling shoe and the cost of each game.

It costs $2.50 to rent the shoes and each game will cost $2.25

Renting will bring the amount you have down to:

= 9.25 - 2.50

= $6.75

You have $6.75 to play games that cost $2.25 each. The number of games you can play is therefore:

= 6.75 / 2.25

= 3 games
