Answer 1

To find the cost per game, we need to divide the total cost by the number of games bowled.

For David: Cost per game = $18 / 3 games = $6 per game
For Jennifer: Cost per game = $13 / 2 games = $6.50 per game

So, the cost per game is $6.

Now, let's find the initial shoe rental cost.

For David: Initial shoe rental cost = total cost - (cost per game * number of games) = $18 - ($6 * 3) = $18 - $18 = $0
For Jennifer: Initial shoe rental cost = total cost - (cost per game * number of games) = $13 - ($6.50 * 2) = $13 - $13 = $0

So, the initial shoe rental cost is $0.
