Question
Jarvis rents a landscaping tool for $45. The contracts states that a fee of 8% of the item's value will be applied if the customer returns the tool dirty. The tool Jarvis rented has a value of $179.
Jarvis returned the tool dirty.
How much did Jarvis pay to rent the tool?
To find out how much Jarvis paid to rent the tool, we need to add the rental fee of $45 to the fee for returning the tool dirty, which is calculated as 8% of the tool's value.
The fee for returning the tool dirty is 8/100 * $179 = $<<8/100*179=14.32>>14.32.
Therefore, Jarvis paid $45 + $14.32 = $<<45+14.32=59.32>>59.32 to rent the tool.
