This is algebra.   Choose letters to represent the unknown quantities.  For example, you could choose s to represent the # of shows watched, and r to repr. the # of roller coaster rides taken.

Since each roller coast. ride takes 35 min, the total number of min consumed by r rides is what?  Express your answer symbolically (not in words).

What more do you need to know to complete the sol'n of this problem?
