It costs $2.50 to rent bowling shoes. Each game costs $2.25. You have $9.25. How many games can you bowl. Writing an equation and give your answer.

Let the number of games be g. we have the function C(g):
C(g) = cost per game * g + bowling shoe rental
C(g) = 2.25g + 2.50

The problem asks for g when C(g) = 9.25
2.25g + 2.50 = 9.25

To solve this equation, we type it in our search engine and we get:
g = 3
