Question 836881
The six-day trip should indicate that he rented for 5 weekdays and 1 weekend-day.  Does that work when given the second part of having spent $265?


5*53+1*35=300; NO.  
This does not match $265.


Try variables.
x = how many weekdays
y = how many weekend days


{{{x+y=6}}}
and
{{{53x+35y=265}}}
-
-
{{{y=6-x}}};
{{{53x+35(6-x)=265}}}
{{{53x+210-35x=265}}}
{{{53x-35x=55}}}
{{{18x=55}}}
{{{x=55/18=3.06}}}, appears to make poor or no sense.


Possible, he spent all six days as weekdays with no weekends, but this also makes poor sense.
