29 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set this up in a linear equation in slope-intercept form, where the y-intercept is the entry fee, y is the total cost, and the slope is the charge per minute. x will be the number of minutes he spent on the trampoline:

y=mx+b

43.25=1.25x+7

Then simplify:

36.25=1.25x

x=29

Therefore, he spent 29 minutes on the trampoline.
