Isla is a Holiday Homes member. To become a member Isla pays a $50 annual fee. The rental fee for a holiday home for a member is lower than the fee for non-members, as shown in the following table.

To solve this problem, we need to calculate how many days Isla would need to rent a holiday home in order to cover the cost of her $50 membership fee.

From the table:
- Non-member rental cost: $190 per day
- Member rental cost: $170 per day
- Membership fee: $50

### Step-by-step process:
1. **Savings per day for a member**:  
   The difference in cost between non-member and member rentals is:
   \[
   \text{Savings per day} = 190 - 170 = 20 \text{ dollars}
   \]

2. **Number of days needed to cover the membership fee**:  
   To calculate how many days of renting will save her $50, we divide the membership fee by the savings per day:
   \[
   \text{Number of days} = \frac{50}{20} = 2.5 \text{ days}
   \]

Since the answer must be in whole days, the minimum number of days is 3 days.

### Answer:
The minimum number of days Isla needs to rent to cover the membership fee is **3 days**.

1. What if the membership fee was $100 instead of $50, how many days would it take?
2. How much would Isla save after renting for 5 days as a member compared to a non-member?
3. What is the total cost of renting for 4 days as a member including the membership fee?
4. How much would a non-member pay for renting for 3 days compared to Isla as a member?
5. How does the membership fee impact savings if Isla rents for only 1 or 2 days?

**Tip**: Always compare cost savings over a longer time frame when deciding whether a membership or discount program is worth the fee.
