Expert Solution
Step 1

Step:-1

Given that costs per game = $4.25 and shoes rent = $1.90

Also, Wayne has $20. 

Let number of matches Wayne played are x, then

The total cost he paid is  $4.25 x +1.90.

but he had $20  then

4.25 x +1.90 =20

4.25 x = 20-1.904.25 x =18.1x=18.14.25 =4.25884x=4

So, he played 4 matches.
