Answer 1

Answer: $42.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A home improvement store rents it’s delivery truck for $19 for the first 75 minutes and $4.75 for each additional 1/4 hour.

Since, 1 hour = 60 minutes

1/4 hour =  $\frac{60}{4}=15\ minutes$

If a customer rented the truck at 11:10 am and returned the truck at 1:40 pm the same day, what would his rental cost be

Time taken = 150 minutes

Since charge for first 75 minutes is fixed and charge of $4.75 for each additional 1/4 hour (15 minutes) is given by

The additional charge =$\frac{(150-75)}{15}\times4.75=23.75/tex]The total his rental cost =[tex]19+23.75= 42.75$
