Question

During peak visiting time, Arches National Park earns $115,200 in entrance fees and reservations. That’s 3,600 times the sum of $30 and v, the fee for a private vehicle. Write and solve an equation to find v.

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf v = 2}`

Explanation:

Sum of $30 and v = 30 + v

Multiply by 3600 = 3600(30 + v)

Given condition:

115,200 = 3600(30 + v)

• Divide both sides by 3600.

115,200/3600 = 30 + v

32 = 30 + v

• Subtract 30 from both sides

32 - 30 = v

2 = v

v = 2

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
