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) 2(g+3)=35(B) 3(g+2)=35(C) 3g+2=35(D) 2g+3=35How many games of Balloon Bouncer did Amy play?____ games
Calculate Tokens Used: Determine the total number of tokens used for Roll-and-Score. Amy used 2 tokens for the game of Roll-and-Score.
Calculate Remaining Tokens: Calculate the remaining tokens after playing Roll-and-Score. Amy started with 35 tokens and used 2, so she had 35−2=33 tokens left for Balloon Bouncer.
Identify Cost per Game: Identify the cost per game of Balloon Bouncer. Balloon Bouncer costs 3 tokens per game.
Write Equation for Games: Write an equation to represent the number of games played.Let g represent the number of games of Balloon Bouncer Amy played. The cost of g games is 3 tokens per game, so the total cost is 3g. Since Amy had 33 tokens left, the equation is 3g=33.
Solve Equation for Games: Solve the equation for g.Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to find g: 33g=333, so g=11.
Choose Correct Equation: Choose the correct equation from the given choices.The correct equation that represents the situation is 3g+2=35, which is choice (C).
