A skier is trying to decide whether or not to buy a season ski pass. A daily pass costs $65. A season pass costs $400. The skier

would have to rent skis with either pass for $30 per day. How many days would the skier have to go skiing in order to make the season pass less expensive than the daily pass?

Let x be the number of days.

Daily pass:
65x + 30x
95x

Season pass:
400 + 30x

95x > 400 + 30x
65x > 400
x > 6.15

The number of days can't be 6.15, so you must round. You can't go down because then the price will be more expensive, so you have to round up.

It would take 7 days until the season pass is less expensive than the daily pass.
----------------------
You can check this by plugging in the x.

95x > 400 + 30x
95(7) > 400 + 30(7)
665 > 400 + 210
665 > 600
The daily pass is more expensive than the season pass.

One angle of a triangle has a measure of 36°. The measure of the third angle is 28° less than 3 times the measure of the second
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

  1. Define your variable and write your equation:  36 + b + (3b-28) = 180°.
  2. measure of the second angle: 43°.
  3. measure of the third angle: 101°

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 36

c = 3b - 28

a + b + c = 180°

a = measure of the first angle

b = measure of the second angle

c = measure of the third angle

then:

1)  36 + b + (3b-28) = 180   ⇒ )Define your variable. Write your equation and solve)

b + 3b + 36 - 28 = 180

4b + 8 = 180

4b = 180 - 8

4b = 172

b = 172/4

2)   b = 43°        ⇒   measure of the second angle

c = 3b - 28

c = 3*43 - 28

c = 129 - 28

3) c = 101°      ⇒   measure of the third angle

Check:

36° + 43° + 101° = 180°

Jill drives 75 1/3 miles every hour how many miles can Jill Drive in 8 and 3/4 hours
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
First, multiply 75 by 8 to get 600. 
Then multiply 1/3 by 8 to get 8/3 or 2 2/3. 
Add those together to get 602 2/3. 

Next multiply 1/3 by 3/4 by multiplying the numerator by 3 and the denominator by 4. That is 3/12. Also known as 1/4. 
Multiply 75 by 3/4 by dividing it by 4 then multiplying it by 3. That is 56 1/4. 
Add 56 1/4 and 1/4 together to get 56 1/2. 

Lastly, add together 56 1/2 and 602 2/3.
Convert the fractions to sixths.
56 3/6 + 602 4/6 = 659 1/6 miles
Hope this helps!
