Question

Raymond just got done jumping at Super Bounce Trampoline Center. The total cost of his session was \$43.25$43.25. He had to pay a \$7$7 entrance fee and \$1.25$1.25 for every minute he was on the trampoline. Write an equation to determine the number of minutes (t)(t) that Raymond was on the trampoline.

Answer 1

Answer: 1.25 x + 7 = 43.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Here t represents the number of minutes he was on the trampoline.

Here, the entry fee = $ 7

The cost for every minutes = $ 1.25

Therefore, the cost for t minutes = 1.25 t

Since, the total cost = entrance fee + cost for t minutes

The total cost = 7 + 1.25 t

But according to the question,

Total cost = $ 43.25

⇒ 7 + 1.25 t = 43.25

⇒ 1.25 t = 36.25

⇒ t = 29

⇒ Raymond was 29 minutes on the trampoline.
