Question

The following section is a statement from the rental agreement Tim signed when he rented his car this past weekend.

Answer 1

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As given, if the car is returned with a fuel level below the mentioned level, it will be completely re-fueled and the cost will be added to Tim's total bill.

As, the fuel needed to fill the car is 11.75 gallons and cost of a gallon is $4.50, so total cost becomes

= $11.75\times4.50=52.875$

And the cost of re fueling is $5, so total cost becomes = $52.875+5=57.875$ ≈ $57.88

So, total cost is $57.88 (option D)

Answer 2

Answer:

b.   $31.44

Step-by-step explanation:

The tank holds 11.75 gallons.  Tim will need to get half of this amount to bring the tank back up to half full; this is

11.75/2 = 5.875

The gas costs $4.50 per gallon; this means the cost is

5.875(4.50) = 26.4375 ≈ 26.44.

There is also a $5 refueling charge; this makes the total cost

26.44+5 = 31.44
