Q. 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?Choices:(A) 35x+5=175(B) 35(x+5)=175(C) 5x+35=175(D) 5(x+35)=175How much does Snowy Ridge charge for each hour of group snowboarding lessons?____ $
Identify Total Cost Breakdown: Identify the total cost and the breakdown of costs. Victor paid $175 in total, which includes $35 for the snowboard rental and the rest for the lessons.
Set Up Equation for Cost per Hour: Set up the equation to find the cost per hour for the lessons. Let x be the cost per hour for the lessons. Victor took 5 hours of lessons, so the cost for the lessons is 5x. Adding the rental cost, the equation is 5x+35=175.
Choose Correct Equation: Choose the correct equation from the given choices. The equation 5x+35=175 matches our setup, so the correct choice is (C).
Solve Equation for x: Solve the equation 5x+35=175 to find x. Subtract 35 from both sides to get 5x=140.
Isolate and Calculate x: Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x. x=5140.
Isolate and Calculate x: Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x. x=5140. Calculate x. x=28. So, Snowy Ridge charges ($28) per hour for group snowboarding lessons.
