Answer 1

180d C)

Explanation:

40 is 20 percent of 200, if you remove 40 from 200 you get 160. then add 20 and you have 180.

Answer 2

Answer: 180 d is the required expression.

Explanation:

Since, He has a coupon for 20% off the daily base rate of $200.

Therefore, His daily base cost = 80 % of 200 =
`(20* 80)/(100)` = $ 160

Additional cost he pay in a day = $20

Therefore, his total cost of one day = 160 + 20 = 180

Thus, his total cost in d days = 180 d

Which is the required expression.
