Question

A car rental company charges 35 dollars a day plus 25 cents a mile to rent a car. What would be the cost to rent a car for one day and drive it 200 miles?

Answer 1

Amount charged by the car rental company per day = $35
Amount charged by the car rental company per mile = $0.25
Distance that was driven in 1 day = 200 miles
Cost charged by the company for travelling
200 miles in 1 day = 35 + (200 * 0.25) dollars
= 35 + 50 dollars
= 85 dollars
The cost for renting a car for a day and driving for 200 miles would be $85.
