Question

Edina took advantage of a special offer that allowed her to rent a car for 4 days for a total of $144. If she had not taken the special offer, the car would have cost $8 more each day. How much would Edna have paid each day without the special offer?

Answer 1

To find the amount of money that Edina paid each day you need to divide 144 by 4.

144 ÷ 4 = 36

Edna paid $36 each of those 4 days without the special offer. Add 8 to that amount to find the price for each day without the special offer.

36 + 8 = 44

Now multiply 44 by 4 to find the total price without the special offer.

44 × 4 = 176

Answer:

Edna would have had to pay $176 without the special offer,

Answer 2

$44/day without the special offer.

Explanation:

First you need to divide 144 by 4 to find out how much each individual day costs. Do that and you get 36. Now add 8 (how much more it would cost /day without the special offer) to get $44/day without the special offer.
