Question

Aniya went bowling and spent $5 to rent bowling shoes and paid $6.75 per game bowled. If Aniya spent $25.25 total, answer the following questions

A Write an equation
B Solve the equation
C Find the cost for 10 games

Answer 1

Aniya only needs to pay for her shoes once so $5 is your B or y-intercept. $6.75 is your slope. So your equation in y-intercept form will be y = $6.75x + $5. Now plug in the numbers to find how many games she played if she spent $25.25.

Equation: y = $6.75x + $5

Answer for B:

($25.25 - $5) / $6.75

The answer: She played three games.

Answer for C:

y = $6.75 * 10 + $5

The answer: She paid $72.5 if she bought 10 games and rented a pair of shoes.
