Bowler World charges $5.00 to rent shoes and $1.10 per game. Lucky Spares charges $3.00 for shoes and $1.50 per game. For how many games is the cost the same for both locations? What is that cost?

We just need the equations to equal the same, which is y.
5+1.10x=y
3+1.50x=y
5+1.10x= 3+1.50x
Le'ts get x by itself by subtract 3 from both sides.
2+1.10x= 1.50x
Now subtract 1.10x from both sides.
2= 0.4x
Now divide each side by 0.4
5=X
So, at 5 games they're the same cost. Let's find the cost.
5+1.1(5)= 5+5.5=10.50
3+1.5(5)=3+7.5= 10.50
So, at 5 games, they are $10.50.

The number of games that would make the cost equal in both locations is 5. The total cost is $10.50.

The equation that can be used to determine the total cost of renting shoes at both locations is:

total cost = fixed cost + variable cost

Total cost of renting at Bowler World = $5 + $1.1x
Total cost of renting at Lucky Spares = $3 + $1.50x

Where

x = number of games played

In order to determine the number of games that would make the cost equal in both locations, the following steps would be taken:

$5 + $1.1x = $3 + $1.50x

Combine similar terms

$5 - $3 = $1.50x - $1.1x

$2 = $0.40x

Divide both sides of the equation by $0.4

x = 2 / 0.4

x = 5 games

Total cost = $5 + $1.1(5) = $5 + $5.5 = $10.50
