Answer 2

The fixed amount is a price you pay before using equipment. So, it is the price you pay at the 0-th day: 25$.

Then, after one you pay 15 more dollars (25+15=40), and after another day you pay 15 extra dollars again (40+15=55).

So, we can see that the pattern is that you start from $25 (fixed price), and then you pay $15 per day (renting price per day)
