The equation for the season pass would look like:

y=25x+350

Daliy pass:

y=67x+25x or y=92x

x is the amount of days and y is the total cost.

92x=25x+350 This equation will be how many days the cost will be equal

67x=350

x=5.223

The skier would have to go up 6 days to start saving from the season pass
