Question

Jan rents a car while on vacation. There is a daily rate of $47 in addition to a one-time fee of $65. Her total at the end was $347 for the rental car. How many days did she rent the car for?

a) 6 days
b) 5 days
c) 7 days
d) 8 days

Answer 1

Jan rented the car for 6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number of days that Jan rented the car be represented by x.

The total cost of the rental car can be calculated using the formula:

Total cost = (Daily rate * Number of days) + One-time fee

Given that the daily rate is $47 and the one-time fee is $65, the equation becomes:

347 = (47 * x) + 65

Subtracting 65 from both sides of the equation, we have:

282 = 47x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 47, we get:

x = 6

Therefore, Jan rented the car for 6 days, option a).
