You have $28 to go bowling. It costs $3.00 to rent a pair of bowling shoes and $3.25 per

game. At most, how many games will you be able to bowl?

Answer: 7 games

Step-by-step explanation:

1. take the information and put it into a equation (being y=3.25x+3 or f(x)=3.25+3)

2. replace the x with a whole number because you can't bowl half a game.

Ex: f(3)=12.75 or f(6)=22.50

3. The highest you can go without going over your money is 7 games ($25.75) leaving you with a total of 2.25.

Hope this helps :)
