Question

A car rental company charges $15 per day and $0.55 per kilometer to rent a car. What is the total bill if a car is rented for 4 days and is driven 146 kilometers? Andy how would I solve it

Answer 1

Answer: $140.30 is the total bill

Explanation:

First, you would time 15 by 4 to get the price for the number of days you have rented the car. Which is $60

Now times $0.55 by 146 to get the price for the kilometers you have driven. Which is $80.30

Add both $60 and $80.30

The total bill is $140.30

Answer 2

$140.30

Explanation:

The best way to solve this is to make an equation.

y = 15x + 0.55k

In simple terms this is:

Total = $15(number of days) + $0.55(Number of kilometers)

Plug in the values

15(4) + 0.55(146)

60 + 80.3

140.3

Since this is dollars it would $140.30!

Hope this explanation was good enough.
