It costs $4.25 per game at the bowling alley plus $1.90 to rent shoes. if Wayne has $20, how many games can he Bowl?

Let g be the number of games. The cost for Wayne is:
C(g) = Cost per game * number of games + shoe rental
4.25g + 1.90 = C(g)

We're given C(g) = 20, so we have:
4.25g + 1.90 = 20

Using our equation solver for g, we get:
g = 4.25

We need whole games, we we round down to 4 games
