Question

You are the manager of a rental car company. A customer, Sandy Furrow, has asked you for an estimate of charges for a nine day rental of an SUV. She expects to drive 670 miles. If the company charges $52.50 per day plus 33/2 cents per mile for this category of vehicle, what would be the total rental charge (in $) for Sandy's trip

`\begin{gathered} 9days=9*52.50 \\ \\ 9days=472.50 \\ \\ 9days=\text{ \$}472.50 \end{gathered}`

and
