a skier is trying to decide whether or not to buy a season ski pass. A daily pass costs $62. A season ski pass costs $400. The skier would have to rent skies with either passes by $30 per day. How many days would the skier have to go skiing in order to make the season pass less expensive than daily passes?

Explanation:

the info about renting skis is just to confuse us and has no impact on the answer.

a daily pass costs $62

the season pass costs $400.

we know the answer about how many days, when we find his often the daily pass price fits into the season pass price :

400 / 62 = 6.451612903...

that means 6 daily ski passes cost still less than the season pass.

but when buying 7 daily passes, then we pay more than the season pass.

therefore, only after 7 days (or more) of skiing is the season pass less expensive.
