Question 658840: Renting a car:
A car rental company charges $46 in insurance and other fees, a daily rate of
$7 and a mileage rate of 21 cents a mile. You have a budget of $200 and need to complete a
total of 500 miles on various trips. What is the maximum number of days you can afford to
spend completing your travel? Answer by kevwill(135) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The mileage charge for the 500 miles will be 500 * 0.21 = $105.00.
The insurance charge and other fees will be $46.00.
The total of mileage and insurance is $105.0 + $46.00 = $151.00.
Since your total budget is $200, you will have $200.00 - $151.00 = $49.00 left for the daily rate. That means you have $49.00/$7.00 = 7 days to complete your travel.
