If the company charges $52.50 per day plus 33/2 cents per mile for this category of vehicle, what would be the total rental charge (in $) for Sandy's trip

Answer 1

Solution

Sandy Furrow wants to use 9 days and drives for 670 miles

The total rental charge will be

$\begin{gathered} 9days=9\times52.50 \\ \\ 9days=472.50 \\ \\ 9days=\text{ \ }472.50 \end{gathered}$

and

$undefined$
