Question

A rental car company has found that, on average, each customer drives 136 miles per day in a rental car. For each customer, the company charges a daily base price of $41.02 and an additional $0.31 per mile traveled. What is the rental car company's mean charges per day for one customer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Company charges $83.18 per day for one customer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rental car company charges a daily base price = $41.02

Additional charges for per mile travelling by the customer = $0.31

If a customer travels 'x' miles per day then the total per day charges of a car

= $(41.02 + 0.31x)

Now we know on average, each customer drives 136 miles per day.

So each day mean charges for one customer = $[41.02 + (0.31×136)]

= 41.02 + 42.16

= $83.18

Therefore, mean charges per day for one customer is $83.18.
