Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

We have three companies:

Rent-All wich offers:

Days: 3 4 5 6

Cost: 55.50 74 92.5 111

We need to find the unit rate as follows:

`\text{Slope}=\frac{\Delta\text{Cost}}{\Delta\text{Days}}=(92.5-55.5)/(5-3)=(37)/(2)=18.5\text{dollars}/\text{day}`

In the case of A-1 Rentals Company, we need to turn the cost by a half day into a total day cost as shown as follows:

A-1 Cost/day = $15.99 $/half day * 2 = $
