A skaing rink offers a 6 month pass for $30. what is the least number of times you would have to go there in 6 months to make the pass a better deal than paying $2 a visit
2x > 32
x > 16
2x = 32
x = 16
To determine the least number of times you would have to go to the skating rink to make the pass a better deal than paying $2 per visit, we need to compare the total cost of each option.
First, let's calculate the cost of paying $2 per visit:
The total number of visits, represented by 'x', multiplied by the cost per visit ($2), should be less than the cost of the pass ($30).
2x < 30
Next, let's calculate the cost of the pass:
Since the pass covers 6 months, it allows for unlimited visits during that time. Thus, the cost of the pass is fixed at $30.
Now, we can solve the inequality to find the least number of visits:
2x < 30
Divide both sides of the inequality by 2:
x < 15
Therefore, you would need to visit the skating rink less than 15 times in 6 months to make the pass a better deal than paying $2 per visit. To make it exactly equal, you will need to visit the skating rink 14 times or less.
