How Many Games of Bowling Can Jenny Purchase with Her Budget?
Understanding Jenny's Budget Constraint
Jenny has a monthly budget of $300 that she wants to allocate between bowling and breakfast. She spends $3 on each game of bowling and $15 on each breakfast meal. The budget constraint equation 3Q1 + 15Q2 = 300 represents the relationship between the number of games of bowling (Q1) and the number of breakfasts (Q2) that Jenny can purchase within her budget.
Calculating the Number of Bowling Games
Given that Jenny decides to buy 6 breakfasts, we can substitute Q2 = 6 into the budget constraint equation: 3Q1 + 15(6) = 300. By solving for Q1, we find that the number of games of bowling Jenny can purchase is 70. This means that with her budget of $300 per month and spending on 6 breakfasts, she can afford 70 games of bowling.
