Giovanni spent a total of $13.75 bowling. He rented bowling shoes for $2.50 and bowled 3 games. Each game cost the same amount.

Question

Part A
Create an equation that can be used to determine,
g
g , the cost in dollars of each bowling game

Answer 1

To create the equation for the total cost that Giovanni spent, we can break down his expenses:

1. The cost of renting the bowling shoes is $2.50.
2. He bowled 3 games, and we want to represent the cost of each game with the variable \( g \).

The total cost can be represented as the sum of the cost of the shoe rental and the total cost of the games. Since he played 3 games, the cost for the games would be \( 3g \).

Thus, the equation for the total cost is:

\[ 2.50 + 3g = 13.75 \]

This equation can be used to determine \( g \), the cost in dollars of each bowling game.
