Jenny's Optimistic Budget: Balancing Bowling and Breakfast
How many games of bowling can Jenny purchase if she buys 6 breakfasts?
Using Jenny's budget constraint, how can she balance her love for bowling and her favorite breakfast within her $300 monthly earnings?
Number of games of bowling Jenny can purchase:
If Jenny purchases 6 breakfasts, she can purchase 70 games of bowling using her budget constraint.
Jenny wants to spend her money earned from waitressing, which amounts to $300 a month, on both bowling and breakfast. The cost of bowling is $3 per game, and her favorite breakfast costs $15 per meal.
If Jenny decides to purchase 6 breakfasts, here's how she can balance her budget:
- Determine the total cost of 6 breakfasts: 6 x $15 = $90
- Subtract the cost of breakfasts from the monthly earnings to find the remaining budget for bowling: $300 - $90 = $210
- Divide the remaining budget by the cost of one game of bowling to find the number of games she can purchase: $210 / $3 = 70 games
It's amazing to see how Jenny can enjoy her favorite breakfast and indulge in her passion for bowling while staying within her budget. With careful planning and budgeting, Jenny can make the most out of her earnings each month!
