she started on june 5 with a full tank of gas and 13,741 miles on the odometer.
she returned on june 8 with 14,014 miles on the odometer.
she was charged 118 for the rental and for 13 gallons of gas to fill up the tank.

total miles traveled was 14,014 minus 13,741 = 273.

miles per gallon was 273 divided by 13 = 21.

total days was 8 minus 5 = 3.

total charge per day was 118 divided by 3 = 39.33 dollars rounded to the nearest penny.

rate of travel in miles per day was 273 / 3 = 91.

the total rental rate in cents per mile was 118 / 273 = .43 dollars per mile rounded to the nearest penny times 100 = 43 cents per mile.
