Inez has $150. She spends one-half on hockey skates and a certain amount on hockey pads. If Inez has $25 remaining, how much did the hockey pads cost, together, in dollars?
How much did Inez spend on hockey skates? ** She spent 150/2=$<<150/2=75>>75 on hockey skates.
Define a variable ** Let X be the amount Inez spent on hockey pads.
Write an equation ** 150-75-X=25
Simplify ** 75-X=25
Simplify ** X=<<50=50>>50
How much did the hockey pads cost, together, in dollars? ** The hockey pads cost $<<50=50>>50.
