Cory is tracking the progress of his plant’s growth. On Monday the plant was 5 cm tall. The plant grows 1.5 cm per day.

Which equation can be used to find d, the number of days that it will take the plant to reach 15.5 cm?

A 5 - 1.5d = 15.55 - 1.5 d = 15.5
B 5d + 1.5 = 15.55 d + 1.5 = 15.5
C 5 + 1.5d = 15.55 + 1.5 d = 15.5
D 5d - 1.5 = 15.5

C 5 + 1.5d = 15.5
