Write your answers on another piece of paper. Show all of your work to

receive full credit.

Part APart A

Five of the family members will bowl this month. The prices at Dan’s Alley are

listed in the table. The total budget for the outing is $115. The budget for gas and

food is $25. Write an equation to find how many games each family member can

bowl. Let g represent the number of games bowled by each family member. Then

solve your equation.

Part BPart B

The next month, the family tries the Bowling Palace, which is on the other side of

town. They set aside $30 for gas and food. Only four family members are bowling

this time. The total budget for this outing is $106. The prices at Bowling Palace are

listed in the table. Write an equation to find how many games each family

member can bowl. Let g represent the number of games bowled by each family

member. Then solve your equation.

Shoe rental (one-time fee per visit) $9

Part CPart C

The following month, Mr. Bradley goes bowling by himself. He debates on which

bowling alley to select based only on what it will cost to bowl at each alley. How

many games would he need to bowl to pay an equal amount at each bowling

alley?

Part DPart D

Given the equation 6(8g + 2) + 45 = 153, write a scenario similar to Parts A and B

that could be represented by the equation. Solve for g and explain what each

number in the equation represents, including the solution.
