Answer 1

To determine which bowling alleys Isaiah can afford based on the prices per game and his budget of $20, let's calculate how many games he can play at each alley:

1. Alley Cats:

   • Price per game: $3.97
   • Number of games: $20 / $3.97 ≈ 5.03 (he can afford 5 games)

2. Bowlera:

   • Price per game: $5.49
   • Number of games: $20 / $5.49 ≈ 3.64 (he can afford 3 games)

3. Pin Can:

   • Price per game: $4.22
   • Number of games: $20 / $4.22 ≈ 4.74 (he can afford 4 games)

4. Bowl n Skate:

   • Price per game: $5.32
   • Number of games: $20 / $5.32 ≈ 3.76 (he can afford 3 games)

Now, checking the responses:

• 5 games at Alley Cats (he can afford this)
• 5 games at Pin Can (he cannot afford 5 games, only 4)
• 5 games at Alley Cat (this is the same response as Alley Cats)
• 3 games at Bowl n Skate (he can afford this)
• 4 games at Bowlera (he can afford 3, not 4)

Based on these calculations, the two that apply are:

• 5 games at Alley Cats
• 3 games at Bowl n Skate
