Answer:
Each one of them spent $38
Each one of them played 6 games.
Explanation:
The number of games be represented by g
Colette went to play miniature golf on Monday, when it cost $14 to rent the club and ball, plus $4 per game.
$14 + $4 × g
= 14 + 4g
Maddie went Thursday, paying $6 per game, plus rental fees of $2.
$2 + $6 × g
= 2 + 6g
The equation is :
14 + 4g = 2 + 6g
We solve for g
Collect like terms
14 - 2 = 6g - 4g
12 = 2g
g = 12/2
g = 6
How many games did each one play?
Each one of them played 6 games.
How much did each one spend?
For Colette
The amount she spent :
14 + 4g
=$14 + 4 × 6
= $14 + 24
= $38
For Maddie
2 + 6g
=$ 2 + 6(6)
=$ 2 + 36
= $38
