Question

John Stone rents a car. John has a fixed rate of $49.00 weekly, pays $14.00 per week for the optional insurance, and he spends $12.00 weekly on gas. What will his cost be per month (four weeks)?

Answer 1

300 dollars per month

Answer 2

Total cost of John Stone of renting a car per month = $300

Explanation:

Fixed rate of renting a car = $49

Total fixed rate of renting for 4 weeks = 4 × 49

= $196

Amount paid for optional insurance per week = $14

Total amount paid for optional insurance in 4 weeks = 4 × 14

= $56

Amount spent on gas each week = $12

Total amount spent on gas in 4 weeks = 4 × 12

= $48

Therefore, Total cost per month = 196 + 56 + 48

= $300

Hence, Total cost of John Stone of renting a car per month = $300
