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 Terry and Tommy, we need to divide the total amount they each paid by the number of games they bowled.

For Terry:

• Total paid: $22.50
• Games bowled: 3

Cost per game for Terry: \[ \text{Cost per game} = \frac{\text{Total paid}}{\text{Games bowled}} = \frac{22.50}{3} = 7.50 \]

For Tommy:

• Total paid: $15
• Games bowled: 2

Cost per game for Tommy: \[ \text{Cost per game} = \frac{\text{Total paid}}{\text{Games bowled}} = \frac{15}{2} = 7.50 \]

Both Terry and Tommy paid the same rate of $7.50 per game.

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