Question

A skier is trying to decide whether or not to buy a season ski pass. A daily pass costs ​$77. A season ski pass costs ​$450. 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

5

Explanation:

Given:

• Daily pass = $77
• Season ski pass = $450
• Skis = 20

77 + 20 = 97

450 + 20 = 470

Keep multiplying 97 with random numbers until it passes 470.

97 × 4 = 388

97 × 5 = 485

So, the skier will have to pay daily passes 5 times to be more expensive than the season pass.

Hope this helped.
