Question

The cost of a car rental is twenty-five dollars a day plus ten cents a mile. What is the total cost, in dollars, if the car is rented for three days and driven a total of six hundred and sixty miles? A) 86 B) 91 C) 97 D) 141

Answer 1

The total cost is D) $141

Explanation:

To solve we can use the equation:
`y=25d+0.10m`

d= number of days m= number of miles

We know both of these values so we can plug them in and solve.

y= 25(3) + 0.10(660)

y= 75 + 66

y = 141
