    6 days

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Cost of daily pass = $80

    Cost of season ski pass = $450

    Rent for the skis per day = $25

    Let the number of days be 'x'

    Thus,

    Total cost with the daily pass = $80x + $25x = $115x

    And,

    Total cost with season pass = $450 + $25x

    Now, in order to make the season pass less expensive than daily pass

    the total cost with the season pass should be less than the total cost with the daily pass

    Mathematically,

    $450 + $25x ≤ $115x

    or

    $450 ≤ $115x - $25x

    or

    $450 ≤ 80x

    or

    x ≥ 5.625

    i. e the skier should go to skiing atleast 6 days to make the season pass less expensive than the daily passes
