Cassis · Answer 1

The total cost of using daily passes is the number of days the skier goes skiing times 67.

The algebraic expression for this is 67n (n=the number of days).

The cost of a season pass is 350. If the number of days the skier skis times 67 equals 350 then the cost for both options is the same.

67n=350

n=350/67

n=5.22

If the skier goes skiing 5 times or fewer using daily passes costs less. If the skier goes skiing 6 times or more a season pass costs less.
