He had to pay a $7\$7 $7 dollar sign, 7 entrance fee and $1.25\$1.25 $1.25 dollar sign, 1, point, 25 for every minute he was on the trampoline. Write an equation to determine the number of minutes (t)(t) (t) left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis that Raymond was on the trampoline. Find the number of minutes he was on the trampoline.

Answer 1

Answer:

29 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

43.25 = $7 +  1.25*X   where X is the number of minutes he used the trampoline

36.25 = 1.25* X    <--- subtracts 7 from both sides

3625 = 125 X <--- multiplies both sides by 100 to clear away the decimals

X = 3625/125 = 29
