Question

Ms.Hanna goes bowling with her friends. The bowling shoe rental for the group cost $22. Each game the group bowls cost $7.25.

1) Write an equation for the total cost c of the outing relating to the number of games played g.
2) How much will it cost to bowl 3 games?

Answer 1

7.25x + 22

Explanation:

I believe that this equation relates to the slope-intercept form, so we know that for every game the group bowls the cost will increase by 7.25. We also know that 22$ is a set rate, therefore it will not change as they continue to bowl. So we add the x to 7.25 because it represents the slope in this situation, and 22 is set.
