Answer 2

a)Total cost of renting the vehicle is $192.23.

b) Each mile traveled costs $0.256.

How the cost of renting the car was determined.

Unlimited mileage means there is no restriction on the number of miles a person can drive the rented vehicle during the rental period.

The total cost of renting the car includes the cost of fuel because fuel expenses are often incurred by the renter during the period of vehicle use. It reflects the overall expense associated with using the car, encompassing both the rental fee and the cost of fuel required for the driven miles.

a) The total cost of renting the vehicle is

cost of the rental cost + cost of fuel

5 * $22.93) + $77.58

114.65 + 77.58

= $192.23

Total cost of renting the vehicle is $192.23.

b) The cost per mile is

= Total cost/Total miles driven

= 192.23/750

= 0.256

Each mile traveled costs $0.256.
