To determine how many games you can play in a bingo event for 15 people at $15 each, we first need to find out the total amount of money collected from the participants.
1. **Total Entry Fees**:
\[
\text{Total Entry Fees} = \text{Number of People} \times \text{Cost per Person} = 15 \times 15 = \$225
\]
2. **Jackpot Amount**:
You mentioned that there is a jackpot game with a $50 prize.
3. **Money Remaining After Jackpot**:
To find out how much money is left after setting aside the jackpot for prizes, we can subtract the jackpot from the total entry fees:
\[
\text{Remaining Money} = \text{Total Entry Fees} - \text{Jackpot} = 225 - 50 = \$175
\]
4. **Deciding on Prize Amounts for Other Games**:
The remaining amount can be used for additional games. The distribution of this amount will determine how many extra games you can play.
- If you want prizes for each game, you should decide how much to allocate for each game. For instance, if you decide to give out $25 for additional games, you could calculate the number of games as follows:
\[
\text{Number of Additional Games} = \frac{\text{Remaining Money}}{\text{Prize per Game}} = \frac{175}{25} = 7 \text{ additional games}
\]
Thus, including the jackpot game, you could host a total of:
- **8 games** (1 jackpot game + 7 additional games) if each additional game has a prize of $25.
You can adjust the prize amounts for the additional games to determine the total number of games you wish to play based on what works best for your event!
