Question

Four friends go bowling. The cost per game for each person is $5.75. They rent shoes at a cost of $2.95 per person. If the total cost for the evening of bowling for all four friends is $80.80, how many games did they bowl?

Answer 1

Answer: they bowled 3 times

Explanation:

1) $5.75 + $2.95 = $8.70 per person

2) $8.70 * 4 = $34.80 (1st game)

3) $5.75 * 4 = $23 ( this is how much it costs each game for 4 people)

4) $34.80 + $23 = $57.80 (2nd game)

5) $57.80 + 23 = $80.80 (3rd game)
