The expected value of the payment is $5
When two quantities have some dependence in their values they can be said proportional to each other.
It can be of two types such as direct and indirect.
The direct proportionality means the values of both the quantities are increasing or decreasing at the same time while the indirect proportionality implies value of one quantity is increasing while the other is decreasing.
Given that,
The rent for 5 DVDs for 5 nights is $5.
In order to find the rent for 1 night for 1 DVD, direct and indirect proportion method can be used as follows,
5 DVD for 5 night costs $5.
Then, 5 DVDs for 1 night costs 5 × 5 = $25.
And, 1 DVD for 1 night costs 25/5 = $5.
Hence, the cost of 1 DVD for 1 night is $5.

a. For what numbers of games is the total cost, including a pair of rental shoes, less at bowling alley A? at bowling alley B?
Bowling alley A:
Bowling alley B:
or more games
or
games
b. Bowling alley A increases the cost per game by $0.50. How does this affect your answer in part (a)? Explain.o
Using linear functions, it is found that:
a) The cheaper costs are given as follows:
b) Due to the same cost per game and higher cost for the pair of shoes, bowling alley A will never be cheaper than bowling alley B.
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
For this problem, we have that:
Hence the cost functions are given as follows:
The costs are equal when:
A(x) = B(x)
3.75 + 4x = 2.5 + 4.5x
0.5x = 1.25
x = 1.25/0.5
x = 2.5.
Hence the cheaper costs are given as follows:
Alley B has the lower initial cost due to the lower cost for the pair of shoes.
For item b, if we increase the cost per game by $0.50 for alley A, we have that:
A(x) = 4.5x + 3.75.
Hence:
Due to the same cost per game and higher cost for the pair of shoes, bowling alley A will never be cheaper than bowling alley B.
