Question

The cost, C , to bowl at Bowl-O-Rama is $5 per game, g , plus $4 for shoe rental. The cost, C , to bowl at Bowling Pinz is $4 per game, g , plus $8 for shoe rental. Write the pair of linear equations that model this situation. (1 point)

Equation to represent the cost at Bowl-O-Rama: C=


Equation to represent the cost at Bowling Pinz: C=

Answer 1

To represent the costs at both bowling alleys as linear equations, we can use the following formats based on the given information.

For Bowl-O-Rama:
- The cost \( C \) is calculated as $5 per game \( g \) plus $4 for shoe rental.

So, the equation for Bowl-O-Rama is:
\[
C = 5g + 4
\]

For Bowling Pinz:
- The cost \( C \) is calculated as $4 per game \( g \) plus $8 for shoe rental.

So, the equation for Bowling Pinz is:
\[
C = 4g + 8
\]

In summary, the pair of linear equations that model this situation is:
1. Bowl-O-Rama: \( C = 5g + 4 \)
2. Bowling Pinz: \( C = 4g + 8 \)
