To find the cost per game, we can first subtract the shoe rental cost from the total cost for each person.

For David:
Cost per game = Total cost / Number of games = $18 / 3 = $6 per game

For Jennifer:
Cost per game = Total cost / Number of games = $13 / 2 = $6.50 per game

Therefore, the cost per game is $6 and the initial shoe rental cost is $3.
