Answer 1

To determine which options Isaiah can afford with his $25, we'll calculate how many games he can play at each bowling alley based on their prices.

1. Alley Cats ($3.97 per game): \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{25}{3.97} \approx 6.29 \text{ games} \] Isaiah can afford 6 games at Alley Cats. Total cost for 6 games: \[ 6 \times 3.97 = 23.82 \]

2. Bowlera ($5.49 per game): \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{25}{5.49} \approx 4.55 \text{ games} \] Isaiah can afford 4 games at Bowlera. Total cost for 4 games: \[ 4 \times 5.49 = 21.96 \]

3. Pin Can ($4.22 per game): \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{25}{4.22} \approx 5.91 \text{ games} \] Isaiah can afford 5 games at Pin Can. Total cost for 5 games: \[ 5 \times 4.22 = 21.10 \]

4. Bowl n Skate ($5.32 per game): \[ \text{Number of games} = \frac{25}{5.32} \approx 4.69 \text{ games} \] Isaiah can afford 4 games at Bowl n Skate. Total cost for 4 games: \[ 4 \times 5.32 = 21.28 \]

Now, let's check the options given:

• 7 games at Bowlera: No, Isaiah can only afford 4 games.
• 6 games at Bowl n Skate: No, he can only afford 4 games.
• 6 games at Alley Cats: Yes, he can afford 6 games.
• 5 games at Pin Can: Yes, he can afford 5 games.

Thus, the two options he can afford are:

1. 6 games at Alley Cats
2. 5 games at Pin Can
