Answer:

B) 17 games.

Explanation:

Let g represent the number of games Mark played.

Since there is a $5 entrance fee and each game costs an additional $1.25, we can write the expression:


1.25g+5

Which represents that total cost after g games.

Since we know that Mark spent a total of $26.25:


1.25g+5=26.25

Solve for g. Subtract five from both sides:


1.25g=21.25

And divide both sides by 1.25. Hence:


g=17

So, Mark played a total of 17 games.

Our answer is B.
