Robbie brought $45 with him to Zave & Duster's arcade. If a game card costs $10 and games cost $2 each to play, what is the greatest number of games Robbie can play in the arcade?

Answer :

(C) Robbie can play a maximum of 17 games in the arcade.

- Robbie has $45 to spend.

- The cost of a game card is $10, which means he spends $10 initially.

- After buying the game card, he has $45 - $10 = $35 left to spend on individual games.

- Each game costs $2 to play.

- To find out how many games Robbie can play, divide the remaining amount of money by the cost per game: [tex]\( \frac{35}{2} = 17.5 \).[/tex]

- Since Robbie cannot play a fraction of a game, he can play a maximum of 17 games.
