Question

Ann is planning a business trip for which she needs to rent a car. the car rental company charges $36 per day plus $0.50 per mile over 100 miles. suppose ann rents the car for 5 days and drives 180 miles.

Answer 1

To get the equation follow the steps below.

1. She's renting the car for 5 days and we understand that its $36 per day so you must multiply $36 × 5 = $180.

2. Next we know that its $0.50 per mile over 100 miles and needs to go 180 miles so multiply
$0.50 × 180 = 90

3. This is the final step add,

$36×5=$180

[$0.50×180=$90] Now add $180+$90=$270.

I hope this helps.
