Answer:

The correct answer is option B, $ 186.97

Explanation:

Rent paid for the car per day = $52.99

Mr. Barrett hired the car for 3 days

Thus, the total rental expenses on car for three days =

= $52.99/day x 3 days

= $ 158.97- ------------------(A)

Cost of driving car per mile = $0.35

Mr. Barrett drove the car for 130 miles

Thus the total expenses on driving 80 miles as first 50 miles were free =

= $0.35/mile x 80 miles

= $ 28 ……………………..(B)

The total expenses occurred -

= (Total rental expenses on car for three days) + (Total expenses on driving 130 miles)

= $ 158.97 + $ 28

= $ 186.97
