Question

A skier is trying to decide whether or not to buy a season ski pass. A daily pass costs ​$79. A season ski pass costs ​$300. The skier would have to rent skis with either pass for ​$20 per day. How many days would the skier have to go skiing in order to make the season pass less expensive than the daily​ passes?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

With either pass you have to add $20 per day, so you can ignore that

Assuming he goes "x" days to sky you can calculate the days he has to go to equal $300.

300 = 79x

x = 300/79 = 3.8 days

If he goes 4 days to sky it costs 316, so in that case its cheaper to buy the season pass
