Question

At the bowling alley, David paid $18 and bowled 4 games while Jennifer paid $15 and bowled 3 games. Both of the prices include the price of renting shoes.The cost per game is $ The shoe rental cost is $

Answer 1

3.60

To find the cost per game, we can subtract the cost of shoe rental from the total cost paid by each person and then divide by the number of games bowled.

For David:
Cost per game = ($18 - $3) / 4 = $15 / 4 = $3.75

For Jennifer:
Cost per game = ($15 - $3) / 3 = $12 / 3 = $4

Therefore, the cost per game is $3.60 and the shoe rental cost is $3.
