Question

Ian went bowling at the Links Bowling Center. Shoe rental was $1.75 and games were $2.50 each. He has $20.00. What is the maximum number of games Ian can bowl

Answer 1

Answer: 7 games

Explanation:

First remove the cost of the shoe rental as this is a fixed cost:

= 20 - 1.75

= $18.25

This means that Ian had only $18.25 to spend on bowling. If each game cost $2.50, the number of games he could bowl are:

= Amount available / Amount per game

= 18.25 / 2.50

= 7.3

= 7 games
