Question

It costs $4.25 per game at the bowling alley.

plus $1.90 to rent shoes. If Wayne has $20.
how many games can he bowl?

Answer 1

Wanye can only bowl 4 times.

Explanation:

the expression for this equation is

20 = 4.25x + 1.90

subtract 1.90 from both sides

18.10 = 4.25x

See how many times 4.25 can go into 18.10

1.) 18.10 - 4.25 = 13.85

2.) 13.85 - 4.25 = 9.60

3.) 9.60 - 4.25 = 5.35

4.) 5.35 - 4.25 = 1.1

1.1 < 4.25 so you can't subtract it

the answer is 4 times
