Question

Raymond just got done jumping at Sky Zone. The total cost of his session was $43.24. He had to pay a $7 entrance fee and $1.25 every minute he was on the trampoline. Write an equation to determine the number of minutes (t) that Raymond was on the trampoline.

Answer 1

1.25x + 7 = 43.25 :)

Explanation:

x= how many minutes he stayed every minute

Answer 2

The total cost is $43.24.

We know that there is a $7.00 entrance fee so we can go ahead and subtract 7 from 43.24

43.24 - 7 = 36.24

We know that the rest of the price is the minutes that Raymond was on the trampoline. So what we will do is divide 1.25 from 36.24

36.24 ÷ 1.25 = 28.992

We will round up 28.992 to 29.00

so we can say that Raymond was jumping on the trampoline for about 30 minutes for a total of $43.24.
