Answer: The correct answer is $ 134.42 for the gas and the rental.
Step-by-step explanation: The trip is 432 miles and Tameka's car gets 35 miles to the gallon. So we have to figure out how many gallons we would use for the entire trip by dividing 432 by 35= 12.34 gallons of gas.
We know gas is $2.79 a gallon so we multiply 2.79 (cost per gallon) x 12.34 ( our total gallons used) =$34.43 in gasoline.
The rental costs $99.99 so we add that cost and the cost of the gas $34.43= $134.42 the total cost of the rental and the gas.
