Explanation

Choice C is correct. It’s given that the cost of renting a tent is $11 per day for d days. Multiplying the rental cost by the number of days yields $11d, which represents the cost of renting the tent for d days before the insurance is added. Adding the onetime insurance fee of $10 to the rental cost of $11d gives the total cost c , in dollars, which can be represented by the equation c=11d+10.

Choice A is incorrect. This equation represents the total cost to rent the tent if the insurance fee was charged every day.

Choice B is incorrect. This equation represents the total cost to rent the tent if the daily fee was $d+11 for 10 days.

Choice D is incorrect. This equation represents the total cost to rent the tent if the daily fee was $10 and the onetime fee was $11.
