A car rental agency charges $44.12 per day plus mile for a certain type of car How much is the rental charge for a 3 days trip of 605 miles?

What don't you understand about this problem?
Answered by David
"plus mile" is really ambiguous.

Otherwise, all that you need to multiply the cost per day by the number of days the car was rented for.

Alright, it's the same idea, make an equation out of the information just like the first question I helped you with.
Answered by Jenny
David I still got the wrong answer can you help me again I didn't know what I did wrong
Answered by David
What equation did you come up with, or rather, how did you go about trying to solve it.
Answered by Jenny
I don't know if this is right I just did (44.12+44.12)+44.12+0.44
Answered by David
You have the [3 x $44.12] correct but for the [$0.44], it's not as simple as just adding the amount once. "Per mile" is your clue here.
