Question

The local ice skating ring charges $8 for admission Skate rental costs $5.50 per pair.On Friday night skate rentals brought in $341.How many stamps didi Judy sell that week

Answer 1

The total pair of skates rented that Friday night is 62.

Explanation:

Let the number of pair of skates brought that week = m

Now, the admission charges for the skating ring = $8

The rental cost per skating pair =$5.50

So, the rental cost of m skating pair = m times (Cost of each Pair)

= m x $5.50 = 5.50 m

The total amount generated that day by skate selling = $341

⇒ Rental fee of m skates pair = $341

or, m (5.5) = 341

⇒ 5.5 m = 341

or, m = 341/5.5 = 62

or, m = 62

Hence, the total pair of skates rented that Friday night is 62.
