Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total cost for games

Subtract the fixed - cost from the total cost. The fixed cost for pizza, shoes and drinks is $40$, and the total cost is $112$. So the cost for games is $112 - 40=72$ dollars.

Step2: Calculate total cost per game for all family members

Each game costs $2$ per person, and there are 6 family members. So the cost per game for all family members is $2\times6 = 12$ dollars.

Step3: Calculate number of games

Divide the total cost for games by the cost per game for all family members. So the number of games is $\frac{72}{12}=6$.

Answer:

6
