Donald · Answer 1

The daily rate after 20% discount is $200*80% = 200*0.8 = $160

The additional daily fee is $20 per day

Let the number of days be 'd'

The equation to represent the total cost, C, after d days is

C = 20 + 160d

Note: The optional answers is not given by the original post so the total cost, C, might be represented by a different variable (i. e. 'y')
