She sees two adverts for car hire.
Shira estimates that she needs to drive 80km.
Which car hire company should she choose and why?
Elite cars
Small cars, daily rate
($0.30 ×number of km driven ) + $25
Cars 4 hire
Small cars, cost per day
($0.25 ×number of km driven) + $35

Answer 1

Answer: She should choose Elite cars because its $6 cheaper than Cars 4 hire.

Working out:

1) Elite Cars:

(0.30 x 80) + 25
= 24 + 25
= $49

2) Cars 4 Hire:

(0.25 x 80) + 35
= 20 + 35
= $55
