Question

The Stewart family is renting a beach house. Mr. Stewart 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 Stewarts will pay $920 in all. Which equation can you use to find d, how much the agency charges per day?*1 point25d - 9 = 92025(d - 9) = 9209(d - 25) = 9209d - 25 = 920

To find \( d \), the daily charge by the rental agency, we need to set up an equation based on the information given.

The total cost of the rental for 9 days, without the discount, would be \( 9d \), where \( d \) is the daily rental charge. However, since the Stewarts received a one-time discount of $25, the equation for the total cost is:

\[
9d - 25 = 920
\]

To solve for \( d \), we need to add 25 to both sides:

\[
9d = 920 + 25
\]
\[
9d = 945
\]

Then divide by 9:

\[
d = 105
\]

So, the correct equation to use to find \( d \) is:

\[
9d - 25 = 920
\]

This means that the correct answer among the options listed would be **none of them**, but if we had to relate it to the correct style, we could write it as:

**\( 9d - 25 = 920 \)**.
