Last summer, Emma's family rented an RV. The rental fee allowed them to use the RV for 8 days. Emma's parents paid an additional $55 for the Great Outdoors upgrade, which included a grill to use for the duration of their trip.

Question

Emma's family paid $895 in all.
4)) Which equation can you use to find the rental cost, d, of each day they used the RV?
55(d + 8) = 895
55d + 8 = 895
8(d + 55) = 895
8d + 55 = 895

Answer 1

To find the rental cost \( d \) of each day they used the RV, we need to consider that the total cost of $895 includes both the rental fee for the RV and the additional upgrade fee of $55.

The total cost can be expressed as the sum of the cost for 8 days at the daily rate \( d \) plus the upgrade fee. This can be formulated as:

\[ 8d + 55 = 895 \]

So the correct equation to use to find the rental cost \( d \) of each day is:

\[ 8d + 55 = 895 \]

This option corresponds to the fourth option you listed.
