Dave and Sarah are going bowling with Mike and Nikki. Mountain Lanes charges $1.50 per player per game and $2.00 for a shoe rental. Valley Lanes charges $2.50 per game but offers a free shoe rental. Assuming that each bowler must rent shoes, which lane offers the better deal for one game of bowling? Does your answer change for 2 games? 3? 4? Let "x" be the number of games and "y" represent the cost. Graph your results. Write an equation that describes each situation. |
