Answer 1

3 rounds of bingo

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of bingo rounds

For adults, the total cost can be represented by 2x + 13, since it is $2 per game and there is a $13 entry fee

For children, the cost can be represented by 3x + 10, since it is $3 per round and there is a $10 entry fee

To find how many rounds are needed to make the cost the same, set these expressions equal to each other and solve for x:

2x + 13 = 3x + 10

13 = x + 10

3 = x

So, costs will be the same with 3 rounds of bingo
