Question

Joe used a coupon that allowed him to stay 5 nights at the Pleasant Dreams hotel for a total of $410. If he had not used the coupon, his room would have cost $10 more each night. How much would Joe have paid for each night without the coupon?

Answer 1

$92

Explanation:

To know the price of each night without the coupon, first we need to calculate the price of each night with the coupon, and them sum $10.

To calculate the price per night, we need to divide the total price paid for all nights by the number of nights, so

410/5 = 82

The price for each night with coupon is $82, so if we sum $10, we have the price for each night without the coupon:

82+10 = $92
