To calculate the total cost of renting the car for five days and driving 350 miles, we first calculate the cost for the days and then for the miles.
Cost for renting the car for five days:
5 days * $30/day = $150
Cost for driving 350 miles:
350 miles * $0.285/mile = $99.75
Total cost = Cost for days + cost for miles
Total cost = $150 + $99.75
Total cost = $249.75
Therefore, the total cost of renting the car for five days and driving 350 miles is $249.75.
C. $249.75
