Answer:
B) 17 games.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let g represent the number of games Mark played.
Since there is a $5 entrance fee and each game costs an additional $1.25, we can write the expression:
[tex]1.25g+5[/tex]
Which represents that total cost after g games.
Since we know that Mark spent a total of $26.25:
[tex]1.25g+5=26.25[/tex]
Solve for g. Subtract five from both sides:
[tex]1.25g=21.25[/tex]
And divide both sides by 1.25. Hence:
[tex]g=17[/tex]
So, Mark played a total of 17 games.
Our answer is B.
