Question

Michelle rents a movie for a flat fee of $1.50 plus an additional $1.25 for each night she keeps the movie. If Michelle returned the movie and paid $4.00, how many nights did she keep the movie?

Answer 1

first you find the flat fee which is $1.50, then you have 1.25n (per night), so the equation would be
1.50 + 1.25n = 4 solve for n

Answer 2

The equation would be $1.50+$1.25n=$4.00
N represents the number of nights she kept the movie
$1.50+$1.24n=$4.00
$1.25n=$2.50
n=2

Answer 3

alrighty thankyou both :)
