The Logan family is renting a beach house from Aqua Coast Beach Rentals. Mr. Logan called the rental agency ahead of time to get the total cost for 9 days. The rental agent explained that since the family plans to stay during the off-season, there will be a one-time discount of $25 applied to their rental cost. The Logans will pay $920 in all.
Which equation can you use to find d, how much the agency charges per day?
How much does the agency charge per day?
$
The equation that can be used to find the agency's daily charge is:
d = (Total cost - Discount) / Number of days
d = (920 - 25) / 9
d = 895 / 9
d ≈ 99.44
Therefore, the agency charges approximately $99.44 per day.
