Charge=Days+Miles
C=28.95%28D%29%2B0.15%2AM
Where D is the number of days, M is the number of miles.

.
For D=1 day and M=220 miles,
C=28.95%28D%29%2B0.15%2AM
C=28.95%281%29%2B0.15%2A220
C=28.95%2B33.00
C=61.95

The charge would be $61.95.

formula is t = $28.95 * d + .15 * m
where d is number of days and m is number of miles and t is total cost.
then you just substitute the values.
you rented for 1 day and drove 220 miles.
formula becomes t = ($28.95 * 1) + (.15 * 220)
this becomes t = $28.95 + $33.00 which equals $61.95.
so t = $61.95
