Answer:
$31 and $0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the rental company rents its car for a $x daily fee and a $y as the mileage charge.
So, on his first trip Judy drove 450 miles for 4 days and the rental cost was $196.
So, 4x + 450y = 196 ......... (1)
⇒ 12x + 1350y = 588 ......... (a)
On his second trip Judy drove 200 miles for 3 days and the rental cost was $125.
Hence, 3x + 200y = 125 ......... (2)
⇒ 12x + 800y = 500 .......... (b)
Now, solving equations (a) and (b) we get,
550y = 88
⇒ y = $0.16
Now, from equation (2) we get 3x = 125 - 200y = 93
⇒ x = $31
So, the daily fee is $31 and the mileage charge is $0.16. (Answer)
