Question

A car rental company charges 29.95 a day plus $0.40 per mile. How much will a two day rental and 185 miles cost

Answer 1

{money = 29.95x + 0.40y} {money = 2(29.95) + 185(0.40)} {money = 59.9 + 74} A two day rental and 185 miles will cost $133.90.

Answer 2

29.95 x 2 = $59.90(As we have 29.95 per day, and we have 2 days).
185 * 0.4 (For every 1 mile, we have to pay $0.40, so 1*0.4 = 40cents, 185*0.4 = $74).

59.90 + 74 = $143.90
A two day rental will cost $59.90, traveling 185 miles will cost $74, so in total the trip will cost $143.90
