Question

Kim decided that she wanted to go bowling. The bowling alley charges $2.75 per game and $10 for shoes. If Kim has $30, how many complete games can she bowl?

Write an equation and solve it.

Answer 1

Answer: 7 games

Step-by-step explanation: if it charges 10 for shoes, then you already subtract 10 from 30. 30-10=20. then, to find out how many games she can play, divide 2.75 from 20. 20/2.75=7.272727.... Since you can't pay for half of a game, it would be 7 games.

Answer 2

Answer: 2 complete games

Explanation:

add shoes and game charge

$10.00 + 2.75 = 12.75 <— that’s 1 complete game

subtract it from $30.00

$30.00 - 12.75 = 17.25.

A complete game costs 12.75. so, Kim had enough money for one more game.

17.25 - 12.75 = $4.50 remaining after 2 complete games
