Answer 1

To determine which bowling alleys Isaiah can afford, we will calculate how many games he can play at each bowling alley with his budget of $20.

1. Alley Cats: $4.25 per game \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{20}{4.25} \approx 4.71 \quad \text{(can afford 4 games)} \] \[ \text{Cost for 4 games} = 4 \times 4.25 = 17.00 \quad \text{(he can afford 4 games)} \]

2. Bowlera: $5.25 per game \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{20}{5.25} \approx 3.81 \quad \text{(can afford 3 games)} \] \[ \text{Cost for 4 games} = 4 \times 5.25 = 21.00 \quad \text{(he cannot afford 4 games)} \]

3. Pin Can: $3.75 per game \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{20}{3.75} \approx 5.33 \quad \text{(can afford 5 games)} \] \[ \text{Cost for 5 games} = 5 \times 3.75 = 18.75 \quad \text{(he can afford 5 games)} \]

4. Bowl n Skate: $3.50 per game \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{20}{3.50} \approx 5.71 \quad \text{(can afford 5 games)} \] \[ \text{Cost for 6 games} = 6 \times 3.50 = 21.00 \quad \text{(he cannot afford 6 games)} \]

Conclusion

The options that Isaiah can afford are:

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

So the correct responses are:

1. 4 games at Alley Cats
2. 5 games at Pin Can
