Question

sean rented an SUV for 2 days and drove it 430 miles the daily rate was 46.99 and .35 per mile with the first 50 miles being free. what is his rental charge

Answer 1

So, to solve this problem you just have to add up all of the smaller parts.

First, we have our daily charge: $46.99
2 * 46.99 = $93.98

Next, we have our mileage costs, which will be
[ (miles driven) * (charge per mile) ] - (50 * 0.35)
(430 * 0.35) - 17.5
150.50 - 17.50 = $133

Finally, we add our daily rate to our mileage costs.
93.98 + 133 = $226.98
