Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The total pair of skates rented that Friday night is 62.Step-by-step explanation:Let the number of pair of skates brought that week = mNow, the admission charges for the skating ring = $8The rental cost per skating pair  =$5.50So, the rental cost of m skating pair = m times (Cost of each Pair)                                                             = m x $5.50 = 5.50 m The total amount generated that day by skate selling = $341⇒   Rental fee of m skates pair  =  $341or, m (5.5)  = 341⇒  5.5 m = 341 or, m = 341/5.5 = 62or, m =  62Hence, the total pair of skates rented that Friday night is 62.
