Question 1102337: Please help with the following problem; I have tried dividing $82.50 by $12.50 and got 6.6 so I think the answer is more than 6 days, but I am not sure.
PROBLEM: A public beach in Texas charges nonresidents $9 per day for a fishing license and $3.50 per day for live bait. Texas residents pay an annual fee of $80 plus $2.50 per day for live bait. How many days must both a resident and nonresident use the beach in one year so that both pay the same amount? Show all work.
Thank you! Found 2 solutions by htmentor, josgarithmetic:Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let d = the number of days
A Texas resident spends 80 + 2.5d
A non-resident spends 9d + 3.5d
Set them equal:
80 + 2.5d = 12.5d
10d = 80
d = 8
Ans: 8 days

You can try as 825 divided by 125, simply multiplied dividend and divisor by 10 giving whole number values to use. If you can do the long-division yourself, and done right, you should find ; and you can obviously try to recheck: What is ?
This looks like a completely separate problem:
