Question

Megan considers two different car rental options. One option costs $19 per day plus $0.12 per kilometre. Another option costs $42.50 per day for unlimited kilometres.

Compare the two options for a one-day rental. Which option should Megan choose? Why?

Give me answer in full explanation please!

Answer 1

The $19 car

Explanation:

For a one day rental I'd say its pretty average to only be driving for about 160km which is about 100 miles. For those 160km you would only be paying $19. The combined total $38, which is still less than the $42.50 car. The only way this would somewhat equal out is if you drove 200km or 124 miles. That would make the total cost exactly $43. If Meghan plans on driving equal to or more than 200km then she should choose the $42.50 car. In my opinion the $19 should be enough for 1 day.
