Question

Cheyenne's car is in the shop, so she needs to rent a car for 4 days. The cost of a rental car is $24.99 per day, and she will be charged $0.18 per mile for every mile she drives over 200 miles. If she drives 300 miles and the sales tax she pays on the rental is 5.5%, how much will she pay for this rental?

Answer 1

22.99

Explanation:

Well, $24.99 dollars no matter how many miles. if she drove 200 miles, we will say that x represents miles driven. So, the cost will be $24.99+ $0.10x

to solve, substitute 20 for x.

$24.99 + $0.10(20)

$24.99 + $2

$24.99

Your answer is 22.99 dollars!
