Question

Local bowling alley charges each person $5.25 per game bowled and $3.50 to rent a pair of bowling shoes. The bowling alley also offers food

specials. Currently, bowlers can purchase a super pizza deal, which includes a large pizza and a pitcher of soda, for only $15.50.

Five friends decide to go bowling. Each friend bowls two games and rents a pair of bowling shoes. They also buy one super pizza deal to
share.

• What is the total cost (in dollars) for the five friends to rent shoes, bowl two games, and purchase a super pizza deal? Explain or show
your work.
• If the five friends split the total cost so each one pays the same amount of money, how much does each friend pay (in dollars)?

Answer 1

1. $85.50

2. $17.10

Explanation:

1. 5.25 x 10=52.5:cost for all games total.

3.50 x 5=17.5: cost for all shoes total.

15.50: cost for super pizza deal.

Add it all together.

52.5 + 17.5 +15.50= 85.5

2. 85.5 Divided by 5 = 17.1
