At the bowling alley, Terry paid $22.50 and bowled 3 games while Tommy bowled 2 games and paid $15. Interpret the rate of change by identifying the cost of each game.(1 point)

Question

$
per game

Answer 1

To find the cost per game for bowling, we can divide the total amount paid by the number of games bowled for both Terry and Tommy.

For Terry:

• Total amount paid = $22.50
• Number of games bowled = 3
• Cost per game for Terry = Total amount paid / Number of games bowled = \( \frac{22.50}{3} = 7.50 \)

For Tommy:

• Total amount paid = $15.00
• Number of games bowled = 2
• Cost per game for Tommy = Total amount paid / Number of games bowled = \( \frac{15.00}{2} = 7.50 \)

Both Terry and Tommy paid the same amount per game.

Thus, the cost per game is $7.50 per game.
