Answer 1

Explanation:

Carla has $25.00 to spend at the arcade, but she spends $3.00 to get a playing card, so she has $22.00 left. She also spends $6.50 on snacks and a drink, so she now has $15.50 left to spend on games.

Each game costs $2.50, so to find the maximum number of games Carla can play, we can divide the amount of money she has left by the cost of each game:

$15.50 ÷ $2.50 = 6.2

However, since she can't play a fraction of a game, we must round down to the nearest whole number:

Carla can play a maximum of "6 games".
