Question

A van is rented for a family vacation. The van rental is $75.00 per day, plus a $160.00 insurance fee. Which equation could be used to find x, the number of days the car be rented if they want to spend exactly $760.00 on the van rental.

A. 75.00 + 160.00x = 760.00
B. 75.00x – 160.00 = 760.00
C. 75.00 – 160.00x = 760.00
D. 75.00x + 160.00 = 760.00

Answer 1

8 days—> because if you 160 insurance is already added, subtract that to get your original price since that’s what is actually being counted.
So I did 760-160=600
600/75=8
Also your answer is D.
