Answer: The cost of renting the car for one day and driving at 75 miles = $ 47.5 .

Explanation:

GIven: Daily cost of renting car = $ 25.00 + $0.30 per mile driven

Let x = Total distance traveled ( in miles).

Then total cost of renting (in $)= 25+0.30x

For x= 75 miles

The total cost of renting (in $)= 25+0.30(75)

=25+22.5

= $47.5

Hence, the cost of renting the car for one day and driving at 75 miles = $ 47.5
