To calculate:Admission for a water park is $17.50 per day. A season pass costs $125. A locker rental costs $3.50 per day. What is an equation that represents the relationship between the cost of a daily pass and the cost of a season pass?
Answer to Problem 6STP

Calculation: Total cost of a daily pass = admission charge + locker rent, i.e.
Total cost of a daily pass
So, total cost of daily passes for
Total cost of season pass = cost of season pass + per day locker rent, i.e.
Total cost of season pass for
Equating both equations, we get
ii.
To calculate:Admission for a water park is $17.50 per day. A season pass costs $125. A locker rental costs $3.50 per day. How many days would you have to go to the water park for the season pass to save you money?
Answer to Problem 6STP
a person has to go at least 8 days to save money.
