Question

Deandre is going bowling with some friends. It costs $5 to rent a pair of bowling shoes

and $3 per game. If Deandre spent $11, how many games did he play?

Answer 1

Deandre played 2 games of bowling.

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out how many games Deandre played, we need to subtract the cost of renting the shoes from the total amount he spent and then divide that by the cost per game. Let's say Deandre played x number of games.

The cost of renting shoes is $5 and the cost per game is $3, so Deandre spent $5 + $3x. We know that this amount is equal to $11, so we can set up an equation: $5 + $3x = $11. Let's solve for x:

$3x = $11 - $5

$3x = $6

x = $6 ÷ $3

x = 2

Therefore, Deandre played 2 games of bowling.
