Question

$
per game ..

Answer 1

To determine the cost per game, we can divide the total amount paid by the number of games played by each person.

For Terry:

• Paid: $22.50
• Games bowled: 3

Cost per game for Terry: \[ \text{Cost per game} = \frac{\text{Total Paid}}{\text{Number of Games}} = \frac{22.50}{3} = 7.50 \] So, Terry paid $7.50 per game.

For Tommy:

• Paid: $15
• Games bowled: 2

Cost per game for Tommy: \[ \text{Cost per game} = \frac{15}{2} = 7.50 \] So, Tommy also paid $7.50 per game.

Conclusion: The cost of each game is $7.50 per game.
