Question

a season pass to the amusement park costs $117, and daily admission costs $39. Determine the number of trips to the park for which paying daily admission is more expensive than purchasing a season pass. express as an inequality.

Answer 1

A season pass to the amusement park cost $117 and the daily admission cost $39. The number of trips to the park for which daily admission is more expensive than a season pass can be express an an inequality below.

let

x = number of days

Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} \text{ cost for number of days for daily admission}=39x \\ 39x>117 \\ \text{divide both sides by 39} \\ (39x)/(39)>(117)/(39) \\ x>3 \end{gathered}`

The inequlity is therefore,

39x > 117

where x is greater than 3.
