Zhang lei spent $20.00 during his last outing at the bowling alley. this included a one time shoe rental fee of $3.50. he spent the rest of the money on bowling a number of games. if it took zhang lei 45 minutes to bowl each game and he spent 2 hours and 15 minutes bowling, how much did it cost per game?

The cost per game is $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Zhang Lei spent $20.00 during his last outing at the bowling alley. There is a one time shoe rental fee of $3.50. He spent the rest of the money on bowling a number of games.

This means that amount paid for x number of games = 20 - 3.5 = $16.5

If it took Zhang Lei 45 minutes to bowl each game and he spent 2 hours and 15 minutes bowling, total time spent in minutes is 120+ 15 = 135 minutes. Therefore, the number of games is played is 135/45 = 3

If the total number of games played cost 16.5, therefore, the cost per game will be 16.5/3 = $5.5

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
