Question

$
per game

Answer 1

To find the cost of each game Bowled by Terry and Tommy, we need to determine the rate of change or the cost per game.

For Terry:

• Total cost = $22.50
• Number of games = 3

The cost per game for Terry is calculated as follows: \[ \text{Cost per game} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of games}} = \frac{22.50}{3} = 7.50 \]

For Tommy:

• Total cost = $15
• Number of games = 2

The cost per game for Tommy is calculated as follows: \[ \text{Cost per game} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of games}} = \frac{15}{2} = 7.50 \]

Both Terry and Tommy paid $7.50 per game.

So, the rate of change, or the cost of each game, is: \[ \boxed{7.50} \] per game.
