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,
