To determine which options Isaiah can afford, we need to calculate the total cost for playing the specified number of games at each bowling alley.

  1. Bowlera ($4.56 per game):

    • Cost for 6 games: \(6 \times 4.56 = 27.36\)
    • Isaiah cannot afford this.
  2. Alley Cats ($3.45 per game):

    • Cost for 5 games: \(5 \times 3.45 = 17.25\)
    • Isaiah can afford this.
  3. Pin Can ($4.78 per game):

    • Cost for 5 games: \(5 \times 4.78 = 23.90\)
    • Isaiah cannot afford this.
  4. Bowl n Skate ($3.99 per game):

    • Cost for 5 games: \(5 \times 3.99 = 19.95\)
    • Isaiah can afford this.

The two options that Isaiah can afford, therefore, are:

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