Answer 1

To determine which options Isaiah can afford with his $20, we need to calculate how many games he can buy at each bowling alley based on their prices.

1. Bowlera ($5.25 per game):

   • Maximum games at Bowlera = $20 / $5.25 ≈ 3.81 games
   • He can afford a maximum of 3 games.

2. Alley Cats ($4.25 per game):

   • Maximum games at Alley Cats = $20 / $4.25 ≈ 4.71 games
   • He can afford a maximum of 4 games.

3. Pin Can ($3.75 per game):

   • Maximum games at Pin Can = $20 / $3.75 ≈ 5.33 games
   • He can afford a maximum of 5 games.

4. Bowl n Skate ($3.50 per game):

   • Maximum games at Bowl n Skate = $20 / $3.50 ≈ 5.71 games
   • He can afford a maximum of 5 games.

Now let's look at the specific options given:

• 6 games at Bowl n Skate: Not affordable (can afford a maximum of 5 games).
• 4 games at Bowlera: Not affordable (can afford a maximum of 3 games).
• 4 games at Alley Cats: Affordable.
• 5 games at Pin Can: Affordable.

Therefore, the two options Isaiah can afford are:

• 4 games at Alley Cats
• 5 games at Pin Can
