Question #N1027
A group of friends is planning a trip. They decide to rent a car for \$40 per day plus a one-time insurance fee of \$15. If the total cost of the car rental is \$235, for how many days did they rent the car?
A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7
Correct Answer is: B
Let \$d$ represent the number of days the car was rented. The total cost of the car rental can be represented by the equation \$40d + \$15 = \$235. Solving for \$d$, we get \$d = 5$.
