Brandon, an analyst at Agency A, rents a car at $40 per day. Due to a rental company discount, if a car is rented for 4 or more consecutive days, the customer gets the last day free and pays only $30 per day for the other days. Brandon rents a car for 6 consecutive days. Another analyst, Whitney, rents a car for 3 consecutive days. The average daily rate paid by Brandon is what percentage of the average daily rate paid by Whitney?
133.33%
160%
62.5%
75%
65.5%

In this example, Brandon rented the car for 6 consecutive days. This means that he was able to take advantage of the promotion. Therefore, he only paid for five days (got one day free) at a rate of $30 per day (as opposed to $40). Therefore, he paid:

$30 * 5 = 150

On the other hand, Whitney rented a car for three days. She did not qualify for the discount, which means that she paid for all her days, at a rate of $40 per day. Therefore, she paid:

$40 * 3 = 120

To obtain the average daily rate of each person, we would need to divide this final rate by the number of days each person used a car. That would look like this:

Brandon: $150 / 6 = $25

Whitney: $120 / 3 = $40

Therefore, when comparing these two numbers, we see that the average daily rate paid by Brandon is 62.5% percentage of the average daily rate paid by Whitney.
