Answer:

600$ rent for 5 days,

around 185 miles a day, meaning you are paying 0.35$x85=29.75 extra a day.

adding up to 120 a day+29.75=149.75 a day.

149.75x5=748.75 for 5 days not including gas prices.

925/25=185 gallons of gas. 4 dollars per gallon, meaning that 185x4=740 extra dollars in gas

748.75+740=1488.75$ for the entire trip.

1488.75
