Answer 1

a)$347.5

b)$0.33

c)$115.83

Explanation:

Cost for renting per day= $9.99

Cost per mile = $0.33

Number of days rented=3

Cost for renting for 3 days= 3*$9.99=$29.97

Number of miles drive= 865

Cost per mile $0.33

Total cost =$0.33*865=$285.45

cost of gas= $32.08

a)cost of renting a sedan = $29.97 +$285.45 + $32.08 =$347.5

b)Total cost per mile = $285.45/865 = $0.33

c) $347.5/3 =$115.83
