Question

/3

9. At the bowling alley, Angela rented shoes for $3 and it cost her $2.50 to bowl each game.
a) State an equation that represents the cost of bowling in the form C = mx + b, where C is the total
cost and x is the number of games bowled.
b) How much did it cost her to bowl four games?​

Answer 1

$13

Explanation:

For the equation, m will be 2.50 and b will be 3. This is because 2.50 will change as she plays more games. The 3 will stay the same no matter how many games she plays.

C = 2.5x + 3

To find the cost to bowl four games, plug 4 into x and solve for C.

C = 2.5x + 3

C = 2.5(4) + 3

C = 10 + 3

C = 13
