Question

Riley is going snowboarding over the holiday break. To go snowboarding you have a one time fee of $75 to rent the snowboard equipment, plus a fee of $5 per ride on the ski lift to get up and down the mountain. Write an equation that could be used to find the total amount it would cost to go snowboarding.

Answer 1

y = 5x + 75

Explanation:

"One time" = no change = constant

"per" = varies per person = variable

It is 5 dollars per ride, 5 dollars per x, 5x.

y = 5x + 75
