Five students plan to rent a minivan for the weekend and equally share the rental cost. By adding one more people, they can each save $8. How much is the total rent of the car?
By adding one more person, they each save $8 Total saving = 5 x 8 = 40 So $40 is what the 6th person has to pay. Therefore the total rent is 6 x 40 = $240.
