Victor wants to learn to snowboard. He went to Snowy Ridge Mountain and rented a snowboard for $35, then took 5 hours of group snowboarding lessons. Victor paid $175 in all.
Which equation can you use to find how much Snowy Ridge charges, x, for each hour of group snowboarding lessons?
How much does Snowy Ridge charge for each hour of group snowboarding lessons?
Let x be the amount that Snowy Ridge charges per hour for group snowboarding lessons.
The total cost can be expressed as:
35 (cost of snowboard rental) + 5x (cost of group snowboarding lessons) = 175
Solving for x:
35 + 5x = 175
5x = 140
x = 28
Snowy Ridge charges $28 for each hour of group snowboarding lessons.
