Answer:

1)

Rent-A-Car: R = $0.25m + $100

World Explorer: W = $0.15m + $125

2)

World Explorer is the cheapest option.

3)

World Explorer is the cheapest option.

Explanation:

1)

You pay $0.25 per mile driven = $0.25m

You owe a flat fee of $100

Rent-A-Car: R = $0.25m + $100

Similarly, you pay $0.15 per mile in the World Explorer

And a flat fee of $125

World Explorer: W = $0.15m + $125

2)

Rent-A-Car:

  • R = $0.25(200) + $100
  • R = $50 + $100
  • R=$150

World Explorer:

  • W = $0.15(200) + $125
  • W = $30 + $125
  • W = $155

World Explorer is the cheapest option.

3)

Rent-A-Car:

  • R = $0.25(500) + $100
  • R = $125 + $100
  • R = $225

World Explorer:

  • W = $0.15(500) + $125
  • W = $75 + $125
  • W = $200

World Explorer is the cheapest option.
