Answer:
Explanation:
Here, we want to get the amount of money it costs each of the friends to bowl
Let us call this cost x
For the 9, the cost will be:
[tex]9\text{ }\times\text{ x = \$9x}[/tex]
To rent a bowling shoe, it costs $3, the cost for all will be :
[tex]3\text{ }\times\text{ 9 = \$27}[/tex]
The sum of the bowling cost and the shoe rental cost is a total $162
Mathematically, we have it that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 9x\text{ + 27 = 162} \\ 9x\text{ = 162-27} \\ 9x=\text{ 135} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{135}{9} \\ \text{ x= 15} \end{gathered}[/tex]
It costs each of the friends $15 to bowl excluding the shoe rental cost
