Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Although this problem is quite long and exhausting, it is deceptively simple.

We know that his 12-gallon fuel tank is only half full, so we know that the car needs 6 more gallons of fuel.

If he turns in the car late, he will have to pay y = 2.59x + 32.00, where x is the number of empty gallons (in this case, 6)

In this case, he will pay 2.59(6) + 32.00 = $47.54

If he turns in the car on time, he will have to pay y = 4.50x + 5.00, where x is the number of empty gallons (still 6).

In this case, he will pay 4.50(6) + 5.00 = $32.00

Using these results, we know that B must be true.
