Answer 2

$286.

Explanation:

1 month = 4 weeks

Jane Little rents a car for $39.00 a week.

She pays per week for insurance = $15

She spends weekly on gas = $17.50

So, total she spend per week = $39+$15+$17.50

=$71.5

Since 1 month = 4 weeks

So, her cost per month =
`71.5*4`

=
`286`

Hence her total cost per month will be $286.
