Answer 1

19 games

Explanation:

Henry went to an amusement park with $100.00 and spent all of it.

Starting amount = $100.00

He spent $42.50 on admission to the park.

Amount left = $100.00 - $42.50

Amount left = $57.5

He spent 20% of the money on food.

Amount spent = 20% of amount left ($57.5) = $11.5

Amount left = $57.5 - $11.5 = $46

He paid a $12.75 fee for admission into a water park located inside the amusement park.

Amount left = $46 - $12.75

Amount left = $33.25

He spent the remainder of his money on games that cost $1.75 each. How many games did Henry play?

Number of games = Amount left / Cost per game

Number of games = $33.25 / $1.75 = 19
