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

Answer 1

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:

\( 9d - 25 = 920 \).
