Answer :
Chuck could have played a maximum of 4 arcade games.
1. Chuck spent no more than $12.50 at the arcade.
2. He bought a snack for $5.25, leaving him with $12.50 - $5.25 = $7.25 for arcade games.
3. Each arcade game costs $1.50.
4. To find the maximum number of games Chuck could have played, divide the amount he spent on arcade games by the cost per game:
[tex]\[ \text{Maximum number of games} = \frac{\text{Amount spent on arcade games}}{\text{Cost per game}} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Maximum number of games} = \frac{7.25}{1.50} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Maximum number of games} = 4.83 \][/tex]
5. Since Chuck cannot play a fraction of a game, the maximum number of games he could have played is 4.
