Question

At a carnival, the cost to play a bowling game is

2 plus 0.25 for each attempt to knock over
the pins. Which inequality would you use to find
the number of at

a) 0.25a + 2 > 10
b) 6 + 0.25a > 10
c) 0.25a + 2 < 10
d) 0.25a + 2 > 10

Answer 1

The inequality that represents the cost to play a bowling game is 0.25a + 2 > 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inequality that represents the cost to play a bowling game, we need to consider the base cost of $2 and the additional cost of $0.25 for each attempt to knock over the pins. Let's use the variable 'a' to represent the number of attempts.

The total cost is the base cost plus the additional cost for each attempt, so the inequality is: 0.25a + 2 > 10.

This means that the total cost must be greater than $10 for the number of attempts.
