You can put this solution on YOUR website!
After spending the $40, Tom has +105+-+40+=+65+ dollars left
Now he can play +25+ more games for $2 each
+25%2A2+=+50+ dollars spent on these $2 games
Now Tom has +65+-+50+=+15+ left
That means he can play +15+ $1 games
--------------------------------------------
Adding up the games he has played:
+25+%2B+25+%2B+15+=+65+ games played
--------------------------------------------
check:
How much did he spend:
+40+%2B+50+%2B+15+=+105+
OK
