Question

Briana is planning to spend March break at a winter resort. The cost of a 7-day snowboarding pass, including equipment rental, is $199. On the resort’s website, Briana reads that a daily pass with no equipment rental is $25.

How much is being charged for renting the equipment for the week?

Answer 1

$24

Explanation:

cost of a pass for a week (without equipment rental) = 7 x 25 = $175

Therefore, cost of just renting the equipment for the week = 199 - 175 = $24

ETA: As an algebraic equation

Let x = number of days

Let y = cost of renting the equipment for a week

y = 199 - 25x
