The problem says that

"An economy car rented in Florida from National Car Rental® on a weekly basis costs $95 per week."

A week is 7 days; so this rate is 95/7 dollars per day.

But this fraction, 95/7 dollars, is neither an integer number of dollars nor an integer number of cents.

So, it is unclear to me how to treat this problem.

In my view, the problem is composed incorrectly (= by an illogical way).

To me, it is an example on how a Math problem SHOULD NOT be composed.
