Final answer:

To find the change to the value of Arleen's gift card, we need to calculate the total cost of renting the tiller and buying the rake and then subtract it from the initial value of the gift card.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the change to the value of Arleen's gift card, we need to calculate the total cost of renting the tiller and buying the rake and then subtract it from the initial value of the gift card.

The cost of renting the tiller for 5 days is $73/day, so the total cost of renting the tiller is 5 * $73 = $365.

The cost of the rake is $7.

Therefore, the total cost of the rental and the rake is $365 + $7 = $372.

Subtracting this total cost from the initial value of the gift card will give us the change. However, the initial value of the gift card was not provided in the question, so we cannot determine the exact change without that information.
