Answer 1

Let's calculate how many games Isaiah can afford at each bowling alley with his $20.

1. Alley Cats: $4.25 per game

   • Number of games = \( \frac{20}{4.25} \approx 4.71 \) (he can afford 4 games)

2. Bowlera: $5.25 per game

   • Number of games = \( \frac{20}{5.25} \approx 3.81 \) (he can afford 3 games)

3. Pin Can: $3.75 per game

   • Number of games = \( \frac{20}{3.75} \approx 5.33 \) (he can afford 5 games)

4. Bowl n Skate: $3.50 per game

   • Number of games = \( \frac{20}{3.50} \approx 5.71 \) (he can afford 5 games)

Now to check the responses:

• 5 games at Pin Can: Can afford.
• 4 games at Bowlera: Cannot afford (he can afford only 3 games).
• 4 games at Alley Cat: Can afford.
• 6 games at Bowl n Skate: Cannot afford (he can afford only 5 games).

The two options that Isaiah can afford are:

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