Answer 1

To determine which options Isaiah can afford with $20, we will calculate how many games he can play at each bowling alley based on their individual prices per game.

1. Pin Can - $3.75 per game: \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{20}{3.75} = 5.33 \text{ games} \] Thus, Isaiah can afford 5 games at Pin Can.

2. Alley Cats - $4.25 per game: \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{20}{4.25} \approx 4.71 \text{ games} \] Thus, Isaiah can afford 4 games at Alley Cats.

3. Bowl n Skate - $3.50 per game: \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{20}{3.50} \approx 5.71 \text{ games} \] Thus, Isaiah can afford 6 games at Bowl n Skate.

4. Bowlera - $5.25 per game: \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{20}{5.25} \approx 3.81 \text{ games} \] Thus, Isaiah can afford 4 games at Bowlera.

Based on these calculations, the options Isaiah can afford are:

• 5 games at Pin Can
• 4 games at Alley Cats
• 6 games at Bowl n Skate

However, since he can only afford 4 games at Bowlera (not 5), that option does not apply.

So the two options Isaiah can afford are:

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

Additionally, it seems Isaiah can also afford 6 games at Bowl n Skate, making the following three options valid:

• 5 games at Pin Can
• 4 games at Alley Cats
• 6 games at Bowl n Skate.

To specifically answer the question, the options to select from those listed are:

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