Carl rented two new releases and one standard release for five days and it cost him $61.75. What is the value of d ?
the first two days of combined standard release: 2x=d-$3.00
Carl rented:
2 new releases - 5 days
1 standard release - 5 days
2d+2($5*4)+[(d-$3)+(3*2.25)]
2d+$40+[(d-$3)+6.75)]
3d+$43.75=$61.75
3d=$18
d=$6
