Some one please help me out
well, each day costs 35 + .043x
for x miles, so ...
To calculate the cost of the rental car, you need to multiply the number of days by the daily cost and then add the additional cost per mile multiplied by the total number of miles driven.
First, let's calculate the cost for each day:
Number of miles driven on Friday = 42.5 miles
Number of miles driven on Saturday = 42.5 miles
Cost for Friday = 35$ per day + (0.43$ per mile × 42.5 miles)
Cost for Saturday = 35$ per day + (0.43$ per mile × 42.5 miles)
Now, let's calculate the total cost:
Total cost = Cost for Friday + Cost for Saturday
To find the total cost, you can substitute the values and calculate it:
Total cost = (35$ + 0.43$ × 42.5 miles) + (35$ + 0.43$ × 42.5 miles)
Calculating further:
Total cost = 35$ + (0.43$ × 42.5 miles × 2)
Now, calculate the total cost:
Total cost = 35$ + (0.43$ × 85 miles)
Total cost = 35$ + 36.55$
Total cost = 71.55$
Therefore, it will cost you 71.55$ to rent the car if you want to drive 42.5 miles each day on Friday and Saturday.
