Question

Suppose you are having a birthday party at the local bowling alley. You are trying to figure out how many people you can afford to invite. Set up an equation that shows the relationship between the number of guests and the price per bowler for each bowling alley.

Calculate how many guests you will be able to invite to your party for each bowling alley.

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Let's say the cost per bowler at the bowling alley is $10 and you have a budget of $100 for the party.

Let the number of guests be represented by the variable 'g'.
The total cost of hosting the party can be calculated as the cost per bowler times the number of guests: 10g = 100.

Solving for 'g', we get g = 100 / 10 = 10.

Thus, you will be able to invite 10 guests to your party at the local bowling alley.

If the cost per bowler is $15, using the same budget of $100, the equation becomes: 15g = 100.
Solving for 'g', we get g = 100 / 15 = 6.67.

Since you can't invite a fraction of a person, you will be able to invite 6 guests to your party at the second bowling alley.
