Answer 1

To determine which bowling alleys Isaiah can afford, we need to calculate how many games he can play at each bowling alley based on their prices and his budget of $25.

1. Alley Cats ($3.97 per game):

   • Number of games: \( \frac{25}{3.97} \approx 6.29 \)
   • He can afford 6 games (since he can't play a fraction of a game).

2. Bowlera ($5.49 per game):

   • Number of games: \( \frac{25}{5.49} \approx 4.55 \)
   • He can afford 4 games.

3. Pin Can ($4.22 per game):

   • Number of games: \( \frac{25}{4.22} \approx 5.91 \)
   • He can afford 5 games.

4. Bowl n Skate ($5.32 per game):

   • Number of games: \( \frac{25}{5.32} \approx 4.69 \)
   • He can afford 4 games.

Now we can look at the options given:

1. 5 games at Pin Can: He can afford this.
2. 7 games at Bowlera: Not affordable (he can only afford 4 games).
3. 6 games at Bowl n Skate: Not affordable (he can only afford 4 games).
4. 6 games at Alley Cats: He can afford this.

So the two bowling options Isaiah can afford are:

• 5 games at Pin Can
• 6 games at Alley Cats

Responses:

• 5 games at Pin Can
• 6 games at Alley Cats
