Question

A car rental agency charges $40 per day for the first 7 days, and $35 a day for each day after that. How much would joe be charged if he rented a car for 10 days?

$415
$405
$395
$385
$375

Answer 1

$385

Explanation:

If for the first seven days Joe has to pay $40, you would multiply that number by seven to get $280. However, he had the car for 3 extra days so you would multiply the additional cost of $35 per day by 3 to get $105. After that all you have to do is add $280+$105 to get a total of $385.

Answer 2

$385

Explanation:

7x$40=280

3x$35=105

280+105=385
