Question

Admission for a water park is $17.50 per day. A season pass costs $125. How many days must you go to the water park to make buying the season pass worth it?

Answer 1

Divide 125 by 17.50.

It equals out to 7.1428571429. Round this up to 8.

Therefore, you must go to the waterpark 8 days to make the $125 season pass worth it.

hope this helps!

Answer 2

Divide $125 by $17.50/day to determine the # of days in the park your pass would get you:

$125

------------------ = 7.14 days

$17.50/day

If you use the pass for only 7 days, a little of the $125 you paid for it will be wasted.  However, if you use the pass for 8 days or longer, your cost per visit drops below $17.50, a good thing!
