Question

Mr. Yeet rented a car from Avis. They charged $125 per day plus 30 cents per mile. Budget charges $115 per day

plus 25 cents per mile. He wants the car 4 days and will travel 140 miles. Which company has the best rate?

Answer 1

Answer: Budget has a better rate

Explanation:

First we solve how much it cost to rent a car from Avis.

Because it is $125 per day and he wants to rent the car for 4 days we solve:

$125 x 4 = $500 , then we need to find how much hes going to pay in miles.

.30 X 140= $42. So the total for the rental from Avis is $542.

Do the same for Budget

$115 x 4 = $460

.25 x 140 = $35

so the total is $495, this is less than $542.

Answer 2

budget is cheeper

Explanation:

avis = $500 for 4 days + $42 for 140 miles

budget = $460 for 4 days + $35 for 140 miles

so the totals are avis with $542 for 4 days and 140 miles and Budget with $495 for 4 days and 140 miles so budget is cheeper
