Question

Gabriella went skiing. She paid $35 to rent skis and $15 an hour to ski. If she paid $95 how many hours did she ski? Write an equation and solve it.

Answer 1

35+15t=95  subtract 35 from both sides

15t=60  divide both sides by 15

t=4

So Gabriella went skiing for 4 hours.

Answer 2

Gabriela went skiing for 4 hours
Subtract 35 from 95 you get 60,
divide 60 by 15 and you get...
4 hours
