Question

Last week Len spent $18 to bowl four games. This week he spent $27 to bowl six games. Len owns his bowling ball and shoes so he only has to payfor each game that he bowls. If each of these bowling games costs the same amount of money what is the constant of proportionality between the money spent and the number of games played?

Answer 1

Len would pay 50 cents for each game he bowls because 4 cant go equally into 18 but the closest to that it can go is 16 so if you and 50 cents four times because he played four games, it would be 50 cents for each game he used the shoes. Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

Answer: 4.5

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to divide the amount paid for the bowl games by the number of games bowled.

For last week

$18 /4 games = 18/4= $4.5 per game

To confirm the result, we can calculate the rate for this week:

$27/6 games = $4.5 per game

4.5 is the constant of proportionality between the money spent and the number of games played
