If Charlie has $20 and needs to rent shoes then he must bowl 25 games.
What is Equation?
Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.
Let represent number of games that Charlie can bowl "x".
The cost of renting shoes is given as $1.25.
The cost of each game is given as $0.75.
So the total cost of bowling x games, including the cost of shoe rental, is:
Total cost = Shoe rental + (Cost per game x Number of games)
Total cost = $1.25 + ($0.75 x x)
Total cost = $1.25 + $0.75x
We know that Charlie has $20 to spend.
So we can set up an equation that equates the total cost of bowling to $20:
$1.25 + $0.75x = $20
Solving for x, we can subtract $1.25 from both sides and then divide by $0.75:
$0.75x = $18.75
x = $18.75 / $0.75
x = 25
Hence, if Charlie has $20 and needs to rent shoes then he must bowl 25 games.

Charlie can bowl a total of 25 games after renting shoes for $1.25. After subtracting the rental cost from his $20, he has $18.75 left to spend on games. Since each game costs $0.75, he can afford to play 25 games in total.
