Black Diamond Ski Resort charges $50 for ski rental and $15 an hour to ski. Bunny Hill Ski Resort charges $75 for ski rental and $10 an hour to ski. Create an equation to determine at what point the cost of both ski slopes is the same. 15x − 75 = 10x − 50 15x − 50 = 10x − 75 15x + 50 = 10x + 75 15x + 75 = 10x + 50

Answer:

The cost of 5 hours of skiing would be the same ($125) after 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Black Diamond:  ChargeBD(h) = $50 + ($15/hr)h, where h is the number of hours spent skiing.

Bunny Hill:  ChargeBH(h) = $75 + ($10/hr)h

We equate these two formulas to determine when the cost of using the ski slopes is the same:

ChargeBD(h) = $50 + ($15/hr)h = ChargeBH(h) = $75 + ($10/hr)h

We must now solve for h, the number of hours spent skiing:

50 + 15h = 75 + 10h

Grouping like terms, we obtain:

5h = 25, and so h = 5 hours.

The cost of 5 hours of skiing would be the same ($125) after 5 hours.
