Problem Statement

We are given a graph showing the cost of bowling per game for one person. The question asks us to find the total cost of four people separately bowling 4 games.

Method

The graph given to us shows the relationship between the cost of bowling and number of games for one person.

If we study the graph, the following relationship can be inferred:

(Number of games is on x-axis, Cost of games is on y-axis)

1 game costs $3 (1 x $3)

2 games costs $6 ( 2 x $3)

3 games costs $9 (3 x $3)

We can deduce a general relationship from the above as:

If n is the number of games, then:

n games cost
