Question

In a gaming arena, bowling is played by renting bowling shoes. If it costs $\$2.5$ to rent such shoes (for one-time use) and an additional $\$2.25$ per game , find the maximum number of games Mike can play if he has $\$9.25$ with him.

• A. $2$
• B. $4$
• C. $1$
• D. $3$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $3$

Cost of one game $=\$2.25$

Rent of bowling shoes $=\$2.5$

Total cost for $“n”$ games $=n\times$ Cost of one game + Rent of bowling shoes

$9.25=n\times 2.25+2.5$
$9.25-2.5=n\times 2.25$
$6.75=n\times 2.25$

$n=\frac{6.75}{2.25}$
$n=3$
