Answer 1

$7.25.

Explanation:

Given that, when Brandon went bowling, it cost $ 4.95 per game, plus a one-time fee to rent the shoes, and knowing that Brandon played 5 games and paid $ 32, to find the cost to rent the shoes the following equation must be performed :

4.95 x 5 + X = 32

24.75 + X = 32

X = 32 - 24.75

X = 7.25

Thus, the cost of renting the shoes was $ 7.25.
