To determine which bowling alleys Isaiah can afford based on his $25 budget, we need to calculate the total cost for the various games he could play at each alley based on their prices.

  1. Alley Cats:
    Price per game = $3.97
    For 6 games:
    Total cost = 6 * $3.97 = $23.82 (within budget)

  2. Pin Can:
    Price per game = $4.22
    For 5 games:
    Total cost = 5 * $4.22 = $21.10 (within budget)

  3. Bowl n Skate:
    Price per game = $5.32
    For 6 games:
    Total cost = 6 * $5.32 = $31.92 (exceeds budget)

  4. Bowlera:
    Price per game = $5.49
    For 7 games:
    Total cost = 7 * $5.49 = $38.43 (exceeds budget)

Based on the calculations, Isaiah can afford:

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

So, the two options that apply are:

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