Balloon Bouncer costs 3 tokens per game, and Amy started with a bucket of 35 game tokens. Which equation can Amy use to find how many games of Balloon Bouncer, g, she played?
Q. Amy used her first 2 tokens at Glimmer Arcade to play a game of Roll-and-Score. Then she played her favorite game, Balloon Bouncer, over and over until she ran out of tokens. Balloon Bouncer costs 3 tokens per game, and Amy started with a bucket of 35 game tokens. Which equation can Amy use to find how many games of Balloon Bouncer, g, she played?
Calculate Remaining Tokens: Amy started with 35 tokens and used 2 tokens for Roll-and-Score. Calculate remaining tokens: 35−2=33
Set Up Equation: Each game of Balloon Bouncer costs 3 tokens. Set up equation to find number of games, g, she could play: 3g=33
Solve for g: Solve for g by dividing both sides of the equation by 3: g=333=11
