Question

Martin and Isabelle go bowling. Each game costs $10, and they split that cost. Martin has his own bowling shoes, but Isabelle pays $3 to rent shoes.

Answer 1

Martin's Bowling cost = $5x

Isabelle Bowling cost = $5x + 3

where x is the total games Martin and Isabelle played.

Explanation:

As given,

There are 2 people - Martin and Isabelle

Each game costs = $10

Let they both play total games = x

⇒total game cost = $10x

As they split the cost , it means the cost is divided into half

⇒Martin game cost = $5x

Isabelle game cost = $5x

Also, given that Isabelle pays $3 to rent shoes.

⇒$3 is added to the Isabelle game cost

∴ we get

Isabelle game cost = $5x + 3

so, we get

Martin's Bowling cost = $5x

Isabelle Bowling cost = $5x + 3
