Kylie is excited to learn how to ski. She went to Snowy Heights Mountain, rented a pair of skis for \( \$ 35 \), and took 5 hours of group skiing lessons. Kylie paid \( \$ 175 \) in all. How much does Snowy Heights charge for each hour of group skiing lessons?

To find out how much Snowy Heights charges for each hour of group skiing lessons, we can start by determining how much Kylie spent on the lessons alone. Kylie paid a total of \( \$ 175 \) and rented skis for \( \$ 35 \). Therefore, the amount she spent on lessons can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Amount spent on lessons} = \text{Total amount paid} - \text{Cost of ski rental} \] \[ \text{Amount spent on lessons} = 175 - 35 = 140 \] Now, we know that Kylie took 5 hours of group skiing lessons for a total of \( \$ 140 \). To find the cost per hour of the lessons, we divide the total amount spent on lessons by the number of hours: \[ \text{Cost per hour} = \frac{\text{Amount spent on lessons}}{\text{Number of hours}} \] \[ \text{Cost per hour} = \frac{140}{5} = 28 \] Thus, Snowy Heights charges \( \$ 28 \) for each hour of group skiing lessons.
