Question

Friday night is glow bowling with 5 glow bowling games for $22.50 but the early bird special on Saturday morning offers 8 games for $30. How much more does glow bowling cost per game?

Answer 1

Answer:

Glow bowling costs $0.75 more per game.

Step-by-step explanation:

$friday \: night \\ \frac{5 \: games}{22.50 \: dollars} = \frac{1 \: game}{x} \\ \\ \frac{22.50}{5} = \frac{5x}{5} \\ \\ x = 4.5$

$saturday \: morning \\ \frac{8 \: games}{30 \: dollars} = \frac{1 \: game}{x} \\ \\ \frac{30}{8} = \frac{8x}{8} \\ \\ 3.75 = x$

Then we just subtract: $4.5 - 3.75 = 0.75$
