Answer:

The cost for full day car rental will be $100.

Explanation:

A bike shop charges x dollars to rent a bike for half a day. It charges (x + 40) dollars to rent a bike for a full day.

On that day the shop made a total of $600 from the bike rentals. If there were 5 half day and 3 full day rental, then we can write

5x + 3(x + 40) = 600

⇒ 8x = 600 - 120

⇒ 8x = 480

⇒ x = $60

Therefore, the cost for full day car rental will be $(x + 40) = $100. (Answer)
