The Logan family is renting a beach house from Aqua Coast Beach Rentals. Mr. Logan called the rental agency ahead of time to get the total cost for 9 days. The rental agent explained that since the family plans to stay during the off-season, there will be a one-time discount of 25$ applied to their rental cost.

Q. The Logan family is renting a beach house from Aqua Coast Beach Rentals. Mr. Logan called the rental agency ahead of time to get the total cost for 9 days. The rental agent explained that since the family plans to stay during the off-season, there will be a one-time discount of 25$ applied to their rental cost. The Logans will pay 920$ in all.Which equation can you use to find d, how much the agency charges per day?Choices:(A)9(d−25)=920(B)25(d−9)=920(C)25d−9=920(D)9d−25=920How much does the agency charge per day?____$
Set up equation: Let's denote the daily charge by the agency as d dollars per day. Since the Logan family is getting a one-time discount of 25 dollars and the total cost for 9 days is 920 dollars, we can set up an equation that represents the total cost after the discount is applied. The total cost without the discount for 9 days would be 9d dollars. After applying the discount, the total cost is 9d−25 dollars. This amount should equal the total cost that the Logans will pay, which is 920 dollars. Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is:9d−25=920This corresponds to choice (D).
Solve for d: Now, let's solve the equation for d to find out how much the agency charges per day.9d−25=920First, add 25 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with d on one side:9d−25+25=920+259d=945Next, divide both sides by 9 to solve for d:99d=9945d=105So, the agency charges 105 dollars per day.
