Question

A summer recreation department charges $45.00 for a season ticket to the town pool. Admission to the pool for one day is $1.75. How many days would you have to go swimming at the regular price in order to spend at least the cost of a season ticket? Use an inequality to solve.

Answer 1

Lets call x the number of times you go swimming at regular price.

so the price could be written as 1.75x

we want that to be at least $45, so:

\[1.75x \ge45\]

Answer 2

Now solve for x
