Answer:

29 minutes

Explanation:

Given


Total = \$43.25


Entrance\ Fee = \$7


Per\ Minute = \$1.25

Required

Determine the number of minutes (t) that he was on the trampoline.

This can be expressed as:


Total\ Payment = Entrance\ Fee + Amount\ per\ minute * t

Where t represents the number of minutes

Substitute values for Total, Entrance Fee and Amount per minute


43.25 = 7 + 1.25 * t


43.25 = 7 + 1.25t

Solving further to get the value of t, we have:


1.25t = 43.25 - 7


1.25t = 36.25


t = 36.25/1.25


t = 29
