Answer:

Shakira bowled 4 games.

Explanation:

If Shakira paid $3 for rent, we can subtract 3 from 21.

21-3=18.

Now, find out how much 4.50 can go into 18.

First, multiply 4.50 by 2.

4.50x2=9

Now, Since 2 games is $9, multiply 9 by 2.

9x2=18

Now that we found out that 9x2=18, we can see that Shakira bowled 4 games.

Hope this helps! :D
