Colette went to play miniature golf on Monday, when it cost $14 to rent the club and ball, plus $4 per game. Maddie went Thursday, paying $6 per game, plus rental fees of $2. By coincidence, they played the same number of games for the same total cost. How much did each one spend? How many games did each one play?

Each one of them spent $38

Each one of them played 6 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of games be represented by g

Colette went to play miniature golf on Monday, when it cost $14 to rent the club and ball, plus $4 per game.

$14 + $4 × g

= 14 + 4g

Maddie went Thursday, paying $6 per game, plus rental fees of $2.

$2 + $6 × g

= 2 + 6g

The equation is :

14 + 4g = 2 + 6g

We solve for g

Collect like terms

14 - 2 = 6g - 4g

12 = 2g

g = 12/2

g = 6

How many games did each one play?

Each one of them played 6 games.

How much did each one spend?

For Colette

The amount she spent :

14 + 4g

=$14 + 4 × 6

= $14 + 24

= $38

For Maddie

2 + 6g

=$ 2 + 6(6)

=$ 2 + 36

= $38

24
