How much would it cost to rent a car for a 14-day trip, and drive 375 miles each day?

Question

The cost of renting a car is given by the formula C = 50n + 0.15d, where C is the cost in dollars, n is the number of days rental, and d is the distance driven in miles. How much would it cost to rent a car for a 14-day trip, and drive 375 miles each day?

A. $1,487.50

B. $1,075.00

C. $756.25

D. $106.25

Answer 1

Evaluate C when n = 14 and d = 14 * 375 = 5,250

 

C = 50(14) + 0.15(5,250)

 

C = 700 + 787.5

 

C = $1487.50
