The Speedy Fast Ski Resort has started to keep track of the number of skiers and snowboarders who bought season passes. The ratio of the number of skiers who bought season passes to the number of snowboarders who bought season passes is 1:2. If 1,250 more snowboarders bought season passes than skiers, how many snowboarders and how many skiers bought season passes?

Question

vivio · Answer

You can set this up as an algebraic equation using the ratio: 
 2 1 ​ = x + 1250 x ​ where x = number of skiers 
 Cross multiply: x + 1250 = 2x 
 Solve for x: -x = -1250 x=1250 
 To find the number of snowboarders, add 1250. 1250 + 1250 = 2500 
 1250 skiers and 2500 snowboarders bought season passes.
