Answer: Shakira bowled 4 games.

Explanation:

Hi, the total cost for Shakira (21) is equal to the multiplication of the price of each game of bowl (4.75) and the number of games bowled (g), plus the cost of the shoes rental (3).

3 + 4.75 g = 21

Solving for g:

4.75 g = 21-3

4.75 g = 18

g= 18/4.75

g = 3.78 = 4 games (rounded)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
