a. Cost per day = $27.95 + $0.28m
b. Cost = $27.95 + $0.28 times 340
= $27.95 + $95.20
= $123.15
Always get the unlimited mileage on a rental car.

TotalCostPerDay+=+CarRentalFeePerDay+%2B+mileage
C+=+27.95+%2B+0.28m m is the total miles driven that day

b) m = 340
C+=+27.95+%2B+0.28%2A340
C+=+27.95+%2B+95.20+
C+=+123.15
