Question

At the bowling alley, Terry paid $22.50 and bowled 3 games while Tommy bowled 2 games and paid $15. Interpret the rate of change by identifying the cost of each game.

$ per game

Answer 1

To determine the cost per game, we divide the total cost by the number of games.

For Terry, the cost per game is $22.50 / 3 games = $7.50 per game.

For Tommy, the cost per game is $15 / 2 games = $7.50 per game.

Therefore, the rate of change or cost per game for both Terry and Tommy is $7.50.
