Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of going to the arcade based on the number of games played, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Entrance Fee} + (\text{Cost per Game} \times \text{Number of Games Played})
\]

In this case, the entrance fee is $10 and the cost per game is $2.

Now, let's fill in the table for 1 to 5 games played:

1. For 1 game played:
- Total Cost = $10 + ($2 × 1) = $10 + $2 = $12

2. For 2 games played:
- Total Cost = $10 + ($2 × 2) = $10 + $4 = $14

3. For 3 games played:
- Total Cost = $10 + ($2 × 3) = $10 + $6 = $16

4. For 4 games played:
- Total Cost = $10 + ($2 × 4) = $10 + $8 = $18

5. For 5 games played:
- Total Cost = $10 + ($2 × 5) = $10 + $10 = $20

Now, let's write down the completed table:

| Number of games played | Total cost in dollars |
|------------------------|-----------------------|
| 1 | 12 |
| 2 | 14 |
| 3 | 16 |
| 4 | 18 |
| 5 | 20 |
