Step-by-step explanation:

With either pass you have to add $20 per day, so you can ignore that

Assuming he goes "x" days to sky you can calculate the days he has to go to equal $300.

300 = 79x

x = 300/79 = 3.8 days

If he goes 4 days to sky it costs 316, so in that case its cheaper to buy the season pass
