Answer 1

To determine which options Isaiah can afford, we will calculate how many games he can buy at each bowling alley with his $23.

1. Bowlera ($4.56 per game): \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{23}{4.56} \approx 5.05 \text{ games} \quad (\text{he can afford } 5 \text{ games}) \] \[ \text{Total cost for 5 games} = 5 \times 4.56 = 22.80 \]

2. Bowl n Skate ($3.99 per game): \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{23}{3.99} \approx 5.76 \text{ games} \quad (\text{he can afford } 5 \text{ games}) \] \[ \text{Total cost for 5 games} = 5 \times 3.99 = 19.95 \]

3. Alley Cats ($3.45 per game): \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{23}{3.45} \approx 6.67 \text{ games} \quad (\text{he can afford } 6 \text{ games}) \] \[ \text{Total cost for 6 games} = 6 \times 3.45 = 20.70 \]

4. Pin Can ($4.78 per game): \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{23}{4.78} \approx 4.81 \text{ games} \quad (\text{he can afford } 4 \text{ games}) \] \[ \text{Total cost for 4 games} = 4 \times 4.78 = 19.12 \]

Based on these calculations, the following can be noted:

• He can afford 6 games at Bowlera (only 5 games).
• He can afford 5 games at Bowl n Skate.
• He can afford 5 games at Alley Cat.
• He cannot afford 5 games at Pin Can (only able to afford 4).

Thus, the correct options are:

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