Ricketts Math - Algebra and Graph Problem Solving Question NEW DUE DATE: Mon, February 10th

In class we used this question to create algebraic equations and a double line graph to explain our findings:

Bowling for Dollars!!

You want to invite your friends to a  bowling competition.  You haven't yet decided how many games will be played in the competition, but you are confident that you will play at least 2 games and at most 5 games. There are two bowling sites quite nearby and you are trying to decide which offers the better deal.  At site 1 each person would pay a rate of $3.50 per game plus a one-time $3.00 fee for shoe rental.  At site 2 each person would pay a rate of $4.50 per game, but there is no shoe rental.  Which site offers the better value?

Now it's your turn... Create a question that involves the comparison of 2 options for a better deal.  

Use chart paper to:

• Write out your question
• Include all calculations on the chart to show the algebraic equations for the 2 options 
• Make a double line graph to explain your findings.  
• Answer your question using a sentence to explain which is the better deal
• Make sure your chart paper design is attractive and easy to understand
