Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
In this situation, there are 2 separate terms (parts of the story). The first part is the information about the coupon that applies to the daily rate of $40. You will represent this as 0.75 (for the 75% that you will be paying) x 40. (The other part of this story is that you are paying $0.15 per mile which is represented as 0.15m. You need to put these together to get 0.75(40) + 0.15m. The 0.25 times 40 can be simplified to say 30, so write it as $30 + $0.15m.
