Question

1. the lees rented a car for 4 weeks. the santos rented a car for 2 weeks. whose weekly rental cost was lower? explain.

Explanation:

Step1: Find Lees' weekly cost

Assume Lees' total cost is Brigg's cost (\$985) for 4 weeks. Weekly cost = Total cost / Weeks = $985 \div 4 = 246.25$ dollars.

Step2: Find Santos' weekly cost

Santos' total cost is \$328 for 2 weeks. Weekly cost = $328 \div 2 = 164$ dollars.

Step3: Compare the two weekly costs

246.25 > 164, so Santos' weekly cost is lower.

Answer:

Santos' weekly rental cost was lower. Lees' weekly cost: $\$985 \div 4 = \$246.25$, Santos' weekly cost: $\$328 \div 2 = \$164$. Since $164 < 246.25$, Santos has a lower weekly rental cost.
