A ski resort has introduced a new ski pass system whereby everyone needs to purchase an electronic card for a one time fee of \$8. They can then put credit on the card for each day's lift access. Lift access costs \$80 per day.
Let C \left(x\right) = 8 + 80 x represent the cost of purchasing x days worth of lift access on the card.
Define y, the inverse of C \left(x\right) = 8 + 80 x.
What does the inverse function y = C^{ - 1 } \left(x\right) represent?
Determine the number of days' lift access, y, that can be purchased with \$728.
