    15 games or fewer

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Cole has $35 to spend, so his admission to the park ($12.50) plus the number of games that he can play for $1.50 each must be less than or equal to $35. If "g" represents the number of games that Cole can play, then his "game tab" would be 1.5 x g. So, the inequality would be:

    Admission + game tab ≤ 35 or

    12.50 + (1.5 x g) ≤ 35

    Subtracting 12.5 from each side of the inequality, we have:

    1.5 x g ≤ 22.50

    Dividing both sides by 1.5, we have:

    g ≤ 15

    So Cole can play 15 games or fewer.
