Deanna and Lisa are playing games at the arcade. Deanna started with $15, and the machine she is playing costs $0.75 per game. Lisa started with $12, and her machine costs $0.50 per game. Write the equation that represents the situation. Let g= number of games.A.15 +.75g = 12 +.50g B. 175g - 15 = .50 - 12 C. 15 - 75g = 12 - 50g D. 12 - .75g = 15 - 50g

hello

let's write out the individual equations


\begin{gathered} 15=0.75g \\ g=\text{ number of games} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 12=0.5g \\ g=\text{ number of games} \end{gathered}

let's equate both equations


15+0.75g=12+0.5g

this corresponds to option A
