Question

It costs $3 to bowl a game and $2 for shoe rental. a. Write an expression for the total cost (in dollars) of $g$ games. Expression: b. Use your expression to find the total cost of 8 games. Cost of 8 games: $

Answer 1

Answer: a. Total cost = 3g+2

b. The total cost of 8 games is $26.

Explanation:

Given: Cost to bowl a game = $3

Shoe rental charge = $2 (One -time charge)

Total cost = (Cost to bowl a game) x (Number of games)+ (Shoe rental charge )

Let g= number of games, then the expression to find the total cost will be :

Total cost = 3g+2

To find the total cost of 8 games, put g=8, we get

Total cost = 3(8)+2

= 24+2 = $26

Therefore , the total cost of 8 games is $26.
