Question 1191916
.
An ice skating rink charges $4.75 for admission and skate rental. 
If you bring your own skates, the admission is only $3.25. 
But, you must buy a pair of ice skates for $45. 
Write and solve an equation to find the number of times you must go skating 
for the cost to be the same for renting skates and buying skates.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The equation is

    45 + 3.25n = 4.75n,


where n is the number of times visiting.


From the equation,  n = {{{45/(4.75 - 3.25)}}} = {{{45/1.50}}} = 30.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  Number of times visiting is 30.

Solved.
