A limo costs $85 to rent for 3 hours plus a 7% sales tax. What is the total cost to rent a limo for 6 hours?

Answer 1

Let's write math equation with variable "x" (x = hourly rate for rent)

-> 3x = 85

-> In above equation, 3x = cost of rent for 3 hours

The cost to rent for 6 hours will have this equation below,

-> 6x = 2* 3x = 2* 85 = 170

We need to add 7% of tax to find total cost.

-> 170 + 170 * 0.07 = 170 + 11.9 = 181.9

Answer : $181.9

Hope this is helpful :)

Answer 2

Cost for first 3 hours would be: $85 + 7% sales tax = $85 + $5.95 = $90.95

Therefore, cost for 6 hours would be: $90.95 * 2 = $181.90

Therefore, $181.90 would be your answer.
