Question

1. luis rents a 17-foot moving truck for 3 days. the rate for the truck is $60 for the first day and $21.95 for each day after that. he also has to pay $0.79 per mile for every mile over 50 miles. luis also purchases insurance which cost him $20. if luis drives 200 miles before he returns the truck, how much will he pay?

$242.40
$204.35
$281.90
$222.40

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate truck rental cost for 3 days

First day: $60
Days after first: \( 3 - 1 = 2 \) days, cost per day: $21.95
Cost for days after first: \( 2 \times 21.95 = 43.90 \)
Total truck rental: \( 60 + 43.90 = 103.90 \)

Step2: Calculate mileage over 50 miles

Total miles: 200, miles over 50: \( 200 - 50 = 150 \) miles
Cost per mile over 50: $0.79
Mileage cost: \( 150 \times 0.79 = 118.50 \)

Step3: Add insurance cost

Insurance cost: $20

Step4: Total cost

Sum all costs: \( 103.90 + 118.50 + 20 = 242.40 \)

Answer:

\$242.40
