Renting a truck costs $55.00 per day and $0.38 per mile when the driver goes beyond the 40 free miles allotted. How much would Samantha pay when renting the truck for 2 days and driving a total of 94 miles?
2(55) + .38(94-40) = ?
To calculate the cost of renting the truck for 2 days and driving a total of 94 miles, we first need to determine the cost for the days and the cost for the extra miles.
The cost for 2 days of renting the truck is calculated by multiplying the daily rate of $55.00 by the number of days, which in this case is 2:
2 days x $55.00/day = $110.00
Next, we need to calculate the cost for the extra miles beyond the 40 free miles. The total number of extra miles driven is:
94 miles - 40 miles (free miles) = 54 miles
The cost for the extra miles is calculated by multiplying the number of extra miles (54 miles) by the rate of $0.38 per mile:
54 miles x $0.38/mile = $20.52
Now, we can calculate the total cost by adding the cost for the days and the cost for the extra miles:
$110.00 (cost for 2 days) + $20.52 (cost for extra miles) = $130.52
Therefore, Samantha would pay $130.52 when renting the truck for 2 days and driving a total of 94 miles.
To calculate Samantha's total cost for renting the truck, we need to consider the daily rate and the mileage charge.
First, let's calculate the cost for the number of days she rented the truck. The rental cost per day is $55.00, and Samantha rented the truck for 2 days, so the daily rental cost would be 2 x $55.00 = $110.00.
Next, we need to determine the mileage charge. There were 40 free miles allotted, and Samantha drove a total of 94 miles. This means she exceeded the free miles by 94 - 40 = 54 miles.
The mileage charge is $0.38 per mile beyond the free mileage. So, the additional cost for the 54 miles would be 54 x $0.38 = $20.52.
Finally, to calculate the total cost, we add the daily rental cost to the mileage charge: $110.00 + $20.52 = $130.52.
Therefore, Samantha would pay $130.52 when renting the truck for 2 days and driving a total of 94 miles.
