Question

The cost of renting a car is $29.00 a day plus $0.25 for every kilometre after the first 100km. What is the cost of renting the car for 14 days and 320km. (linear equtations)

Answer 1

$461

Explanation:

First, find the cost with the daily charge of $29.

Multiply 14 by 29, since the car was rented for 14 days:

14(29)

= 406

Find the cost with the distance traveled. Since there is only a charge after the first 100 km, subtract 100 from 320.

320 - 100

= 220

Find the charge by multiplying this by 0.25:

220(0.25)

= 55

Add this to the daily charge:

55 + 406

= 461

So, the cost will be $461
