If a daily pass costs $78 and he also has to pay $30 a day for ski rental, it is $78+$30 for one day with the daily pass, or $108.
In 3 days ( 3 × $ 108 ) , he will have spent $324.
However, if the skier were to buy the season pass, he would also have to pay for ski rental per day, adding 3 days × $ 30 to the original $300 season pass, finally totaling $390.
This means the skier must go skiing for at least 4 days to surpass the cost of the season pass.
4 days of one-day passes plus daily rental ski costs total 4 days × $ ( 78 + 30 ) = $ 432 .
Season pass plus 4 days of ski rental costs $ 300 + 3 × $ 40 , which equals $420.
