There are two parts of the problem:
1.The rent of car for 5 days is $16 per day. This means that for each day Larry would be getting $16 for 5 days. Thus, we have 5 days rent:
$16×5=$80
2.The rent of the car by driving 1200 miles which is $0.12 per mile. Thus for driving 1200 miles the rent would be:
$(1200×0.12)=$144
Thus, we total the rent calculated in two pars as:
Total Rent=$(80+144)=$224

If Larry rents a compact car for five days at $16.00 per day and travels 1,200 miles at $0.12 per mile, find his total rental cost.
Total cost:
16D + 1200(.12)____16(5) + 1200(.12)_____80 + 144_____$highlight_green%28224%29
