Answer: Option D

D. 880 = 45d + 70; 18 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the cost of preschool is $ 45 per day plus a monthly fee of $ 70.

We also know that a total of $ 880 was paid last month

To write an equation that represents this situation, let us call d the number of days that Barry attends school

So the cost was:

[tex]45d + 70 = 880[/tex]

Now we solve the equation for the variable d

[tex]45d= 880-70[/tex]

[tex]45d= 810[/tex]

[tex]d= \frac{810}{45}[/tex]

[tex]d= 18\ days[/tex]

The answer is the option D
