Question

A skier is trying to decide whether or not to buy a season ski pass. A daily pass costs ​$68. A season ski pass costs ​$300. The skier would have to rent skis with either pass for ​$20 per day. How many days would the skier have to go skiing in order to make the season pass less expensive than the daily​ passes?

Answer 1

first, ignore the rent for the skies. we could add it to both, but since it's the same, it would not change the number of days here.

this information is meant to test your decision making on what's important for the question.

now just ask how often you can pay $68 dollars per day while staying below 300 in total, you can just count it up.

68, 136, 204, 272, 340

its 4 days

for 5 days or more, the season pass is the better option
