Question

Ellen is excited to learn how to ski. She went to White Peaks Mountain, rented a pair of skis for $45, and took 4 hours of group skiing lessons. Ellen paid $165 in all.
Which equation can you use to find how much White Peaks charges, h, for each hour of group skiing lessons?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=30h

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to figure out how much she actually paid for lessons, so you need to subtract 45 from 165.

165-45=120

Now you know she paid 120 dollars in total for lessons.

You know she took four hours of lessons, so you divide 120 by 4.

120/4=30

It takes $30 an hour for lessons.

Now you can form an equation.

Since you know it takes $30 per hour of lessons, it will be 30h.

x is the full amount of money paid

You don't need to add 165-45 to your equation because not everyone will need to rent skis when they come to White Peaks.

Hope this helps!
