(linear equations)

Answer 1

$469.80

Explanation:

First, let's find out how many fees would be paid exclusively for renting it out for 14 days.

29.00 * 14 = $406

They have to pay 406 dollars just for having the car for 14 days.

Now let's find out how much will need to paid for driving for 320 km.

We can first take away 100 km because the fee only starts afterwards.

320 - 100 = 220

220 * 0.29 = 63.8

63.80 + 406 = 469.80
