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?Choices:(A) 2g+3=35(B) 3(g+2)=35(C) 2(g+3)=35(D) 3g+2=35How many games of Balloon Bouncer did Amy play?____ games
Identify Tokens: Identify the total tokens and the tokens used initially.Amy used 2 tokens for Roll-and-Score and has 35 tokens in total. So, tokens left for Balloon Bouncer = 35−2=33.
Determine Cost Equation: Determine the cost per game and set up the equation.Balloon Bouncer costs 3 tokens per game. Let g be the number of games she played. The equation is 3g+2=35, where 2 represents the initial 2 tokens used.
Solve for Games: Solve the equation for g.Subtract 2 from both sides: 3g+2−2=35−2,3g=33,Divide both sides by 3: g=333,g=11.
