Question

You want to rent a car. The cost is $120 per day. You are allowed 100 miles per day--but any mileage above that amount will cost $0.35 per mile. You rent the car for 5 days, and drive 925 miles. The car gets 25 miles to the gallon, and a gallon of gas costs $4.

pls help im so confused

Answer 1

600$ rent for 5 days,

around 185 miles a day, meaning you are paying 0.35$x85=29.75 extra a day.

adding up to 120 a day+29.75=149.75 a day.

149.75x5=748.75 for 5 days not including gas prices.

925/25=185 gallons of gas. 4 dollars per gallon, meaning that 185x4=740 extra dollars in gas

748.75+740=1488.75$ for the entire trip.

1488.75
