You have decided to move 300km away from your current residence. The truck costs $40 per day and $0.12 per kilometre. If it will take you 2 days to return the truck, how much will the round trip cost you? (Assume that tax is included.)
I assume that you'll return the truck near your new home.
(40 * 2) + (0.12 * 300) = ?
I'll be glad to check your answer.
40 x 2 = 80
0.12x300=36
80+36=116
so for two ways would it be
40x2=80
0.12x600= 72
80+72=152.
is that how much the round trip would cost me ?
Right!
Right on :) , Thank you Ms.Sue
Would you be able to please help me with another question ?
You're welcome.
I'll try to help you with another question. Please post it as a new question.
To calculate the round trip cost, we need to consider both the daily rental fee and the cost per kilometer.
1. Daily rental fee: The truck rental costs $40 per day. Since you will use the truck for 2 days, the total daily rental fee will be 2 * $40 = $<<2*40=80>>80.
2. Cost per kilometer: The truck rental also charges $0.12 per kilometer. Since the round trip is 300 km away, the total distance traveled will be 2 * 300 km = 600 km. Therefore, the total distance cost will be 600 km * $0.12/km = $<<600*0.12=72>>72.
To get the final cost, add the daily rental fee and the distance cost: $80 + $72 = $<<80+72=152>>152.
So, the round trip will cost you $152.
